[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the responses. My daughter is applying online, so she'll complete the application, then wants me to pay the fee. Meanwhile, she lets other aspects of the application fall through (recommendations, transcripts, etc).

I have a problem with paying hundreds of dollars for incomplete applications...applications that I have little confidence she'll fully complete.

I guess at this point, I just pay and wish her luck. I *hate* having to pull information out of her. Here's an example from tonight:

Me: Did you have your schools send out transcripts to the colleges?
Daughter (in a damn near dead monotone voice): I already have transcripts.
Me: Yes, but they want them sent directly from the school.
Her: I already asked the school to send them.
Me: To which schools (to make sure we're on the same page)?
Her: To the schools I asked them to send them to.

This sort of conversation pisses me off. I have to practically drag information out of her and she is still reluctant to give up any info. Why couldn't the conversation have been more like:

Me: Did you have your schools send out transcripts to the colleges?
Her: Yes, I talked with my counselors and asked them to send them to X, X and X.

I realize I'll get past this anger, but right now, I'm sick of her crap. It doesn't help that when she wants me to do things, she sends me emails instead of coming to actually talk to me. [/quote]
