He needs X GPA next semester or he’s coming home and doing a semester at community college. Then he needs to have CC gpa of at least 3.5 before you will agree to pay for college again. He can keep trying at community college for a year. After that he needs a job and pays rent orgets kicked out.

Exactly. A "C" is for Community College.  End of discussion.  You want my money, you put school first.  You want to socialize and skate by, you pay.

I am faced with a different situation: a super high performing kid who will probably get into Harvard and want to go.  But her disrespect and regular rude behavior toward me, combined with the fact that she barely will have a conversation or do anything with me, is so hurtful that I am about to tell her she is completely on her own s far as college tuition unless there is a serious change.  My heart is literally shattered over the way she makes me feel.

I may start a thread on this to get some input from those wiser than me.  Oh well...[/quote]
Nobody will think you should pull college.  That is ridiculous.[/quote]

But watching the PP you responded to get dragged could be entertaining.

If you have a crappy relationship with your kid, fix it. Get therapy together. But if this is something you’d think seriously about doing, I can see why your kid loathes you. [/quote]
