Dotsie, imagine, if you will/can, a single parent, single income??? I have two in college now. Fortunately, my son has been such an 'first letter of the alphabet + hole that' that I don't feel bad. Since he 'knows' it all, I let him and take pleasure in reminding him that he 'knows-it-all' and to find it the best way he can. Recall, this is the son (the only one too) that said his beloved father did everything for him. HA! Let us put this into practice!

My daughter, on the other hand, I would get her established for the first semester, maybe even the second but will make it clear to her that the extracuriculars have limitations and that she shall work to save her money come summer 'paid' internships. [Smile]

Just my two cents, and agreeing with Chatty as well.
