[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  I wanted to add that I went back and reread the initial post and you said that you told him if "we don't figure out the financial situation,he will need to get a job and transfer in state in the fall".  I think you needed to be more specific and stick to what you say will happen otherwise it's like the Charlie Brown cartoons when the teacher is talking and you can't hear the words just "waa waa waa waaa" with various intonation.  We means what - he will do what action by when and you will do what by when?  If he had to first clear up the promissory note before you could do something what was his deadline in order to give you enough time?.  Take out a calendar and put it in a calendar. The way I heard it he had until classes started to get this done and he figures he can wait to the last minute.

We have a rule in the house that we (parents) don't run out to get school project supplies during the week - it is too stressful on us with our work situations and all the activities to be told at the 11th hour we need poster board on a Tuesday night for something due Wednesday.  We have been clear at a young age that if you don't tell us by Friday or even Saturday you are out of luck and the kids know we aren't kdding about it.  Besides being able to keep a bit of sanity in our own lives in the real world there are lots of things you can't do at the 11th hour if you need someone else to do something for you ...people need lead time to juggle the other things they have and you could find out that person is on vacation when you look for them to do their part.[/quote]
