Teenagers, Can't live With em and you can't shoot em!<br /><br />My teenage stepdaughter is going to be going to my almater for a degree in math and secondary education. As an almuni I was able to wave the application Fee, and made her a deal that she could stay here if she wished at no cost (room and board at the school is $7000.00 a year, she currently stays with her father, my wife did not want to force the kids out of school. <br /><br />Anyway her father and Us have repeatly told her that she needs to get a job as we will not be providing entertainment money. She then proceeds to ask if she can go to florida (drive down w/her boyfriend who she as only known for 4 months). Her father tells her no as does my wife. 2 weeks later Rachel tells us that her father said she could go but he was told he was not paying anything. 
<br /><br />So she goes and then comes back found out that her father did give her money. <br />and then she says to my wife "thanks for asking if I wanted to go to the shore with you." ( we leave for vacation tomorrow) To which she replies your supposed to be working!<br /><br />Here we almost into August and she still has no job and probably won't have on. <br /><br />I had a job from the moment I was 13 and learned that money did not grow on trees! Everytime we try to install some self-reliance on the kids we get sandbagged by my better halfs ex. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me rant.
