difficult child called and asked if we would help her move on Sunday. She had told me the last time that I saw her that her roommate was thinking of buying a townhouse with another roommate and that difficult child was thinking of moving in with some guy friends who have a house.
difficult child told me that they really wanted her to move in because she was so "responsible." When I looked surprised at that, she reminded me at how responsible she had been about paying her bills since she moved into the last apartment.
This place will only cost her $250 a month which is $150 a month less than she is paying now. What worries me is that the last roommate was very responsible and focused which helped keep my difficult child on the straight and narrow. I'm worried that the new situation will be a party house.
When husband expressed his reservations, difficult child reminded him that she was a "big girl now."
I know I can't really say or do anything about this but I just have a bad feeling. I hope that I am wrong.
The good news is that difficult child (on her own) has gone and talked to the people at the local community college admissions office, applied for a FAFSA loan, and followed up by reapplying for the fall semester. She says her goal is to major in psychology and work with troubled kids.
So keep your fingers crossed for me that this new living situation works out and that she is serious about school this time.
