<p>Thanks everyone for your input, you talked me down off the ledge. I won't jump now I promise:) I was just so frustrated with her yesterday that I had to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind. I am already drawing up the contracts for my younger 2 kids.</p>
<p>Another quick note, yep $500 a semester and you do not have to buy a meal plan. It is a JuCo that is affordable for residents of the county. I did go there (while living at home, working six days a week) and completed that part of my education. Then made an effort to complet my BA while still working six days a week and commuting day and night and paying my own way, and never finished. Stopped 24 hours shy and will never go back, I was worn out by then, it was taking twice as long as it should have and I was the one that made it that way. My parents couldn't afford to assist me at that point in their lives, my Fathers business had shut down and he was commuting 100+ miles to work. I have told her all the stories and it has no impact. It must be wonderful to be 18 and already have the world figured out...haha... We have decided to explain what we will contribute and what we won't condone and let her make her choice. Thanks again everyone for your input. We'll keep you posted.</p>
