[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. We can't afford it. [/quote]

Not questioning you but just to let you know that my DCs beach week was pretty inexpensive. They had 10 in the house and I think our share was less than $300. They got their full deposit back. They went to costco for food and our share of that was $90. That was it for our expenses. I think they were there 6 nights. Maybe split it with your kid or have him work it off somehow?[/quote]

Who is they?  Parents don't really spend the money for their kids to do this, do they?  If my senior wants to do this, they will spend their own money to go.  Oh wait most seniors are still coddled by Mommy and Daddy and don't have jobs yet, correct?  The poor kids are so busy to work.   :roll: [/quote]

I appreciate the suggestion to split costs. That was our original plan. Our teen has worked part time for most of this year, but has not had steady employment doing that do to the business he has worked for cutting back. He would like to work now, is looking, and will find something, but at the moment he simply cannot find anything (we live in Northeast DC). Normally I am happy to subsidize such trips if I can. I am willing in this case because I see how hard he tries, and I think it's a nice gesture for all the hard work he has put in school, getting good grades while working. Unfortunately, I am not able. My workplace has cut back and I am also looking for work. I'm a single parent and money is tight. [/quote]
