[quote=Anonymous]Please weigh in on if this is upsetting, and how to handle.

20 year old daughter has her own apartment with a female friend at college. Dorms are only guaranteed for Freshman. We pay $1050 per month, plus utilities and parking, plus tuition/books. It's a sacrifice, even with savings, but we pay it without loans. We are not by any means rich, and came from blue collar upbrings. Still we've created a nice middle class life for our kids.

Daughter moves into a two bed/two bath apartment in July, and is in a 12 month lease.

Daughter has a boyfriend and they've become more serious since moving back for sophomore year. She now stays with him at his apartment 99% of the time. You know this because of Facetime calls and she shares (willingly) her location on iphone. She basically uses her very nice apartment as a closet for shoes and clothes.

1. Ignore, she's an adult. 
2. Say something, because you are wasting your money. 
3. Something in the middle. What?

When the lease is up do you "let" her move in with her boyfriend?  This hasn't come up, but may in the future. BF is a senior at the same college.  Do you keep paying for everything, or do you suggest a more a affordable apartment? We thought current apartment was a good deal for the area, security, and proximity to campus, but she could find something further out.

FWIW, we like the boyfriend enough. No complaints other than it seems serious fast, and it irritates me every time I pay rent. [/quote]
