[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 440057, member: 1953"] I agree with exhaustedinutah in regards to paying for college. I would not pay for another semester with D's on his report card and the fact he keeps getting in trouble for partying. Tell him to prove himself for one year before you decide to send him away again. If you want to pay for a local college or Community college that is up to you. I wouldn't though. You could make him pay for any local classes up front and you can pay him back if he actually passes it. Remember if you are paying his way through college, he is using the money you give him and partying with it. School is out for the summer right? I would make him find a job other than getting paid for household chores, he should be doing household chores without being paid anyways. It's time to be tough till he decides his partying isn't worth the hassle it is creating for him. He has been good most of his life so far, so I am optimistic that with some tough love you can change his direction. May the force be with you. Lia PS: This website is the best form of support when and if you find yourself struggling with your kids. I'm glad you found your way here, the parents here are really the most experienced group you can come across. [/QUOTE]
