[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter did not get her license until she was almost 19. Summer after senior year. Driving was really hard for her.[/quote]

This is OP. Thank you, but that’s not the issue. She’s only been in the driver’s seat twice so far. She has deprioritized learning to drive, yet seems to think she will be driving herself around come fall.

7:11 - absolutely. DH and I can’t wrap our heads around why she doesn’t get this. She’s not getting a car, period. She will need to share with us, and she doesn’t seem to “get” the dynamics of that (she can’t make commitments that require her to use the car all day every Saturday). Of course we can refuse to pay for art school, but our concern is more that she’s not focusing on art as her primary EC. How exactly is she going yo build her portfolio?

Yes, we can let her fail to reach these goals. It seems fatalistic to throw her hands up, stop investing in her (time and money wise) and decide she’s going to community college. 1. We have time - what can we do to help her grow between it and then? 2. I really want her out if the house for college. There is a younger sibling, and for the sake of our family dynamic, we need big sis to go away for school.[/quote]

This is pp. What helping my dd before she could successfully drive was getting a pt-job that was walking distance. That helped her mature in a lot of ways I think. She worked year-round but only about 7 hours/week, did not work more than that even in the summer until recently. [/quote]
