[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad that you clearly don’t like her. I feel bad for her. She needs to free herself from you to get it together.[/quote]

And if you actually forced her to attend church as an adult, in order to receive college tuition…that was 1,000% wrong. [/quote]

I know manners of parents “bribing” their teens to do things that are positive and good for the teen.

Most teens don’t know what’s good for them, especially when they view the easiest and best option to stay home on a screen. [/quote]
Me too.
$5 a date
$2 a rebound
Alo sweatshirt for A in algebra
College funding for going to church
New sneakers for doing chores consistently [/quote]

You know parents who pay their children to go out on dates? What?[/quote]

Yes, shy needy girl was told she’d get $5 a pop for going on a date in HS. To work on socialization skills. She didn’t go on any and didn’t date in high school. So that was the end of that. [/quote]

You didn’t realize how stupid that idea was before you tried it? And you blame her?[/quote]

No, but the parents made their point: you need to start knowing how to get to know people and your people judgment, ideally before you move across the country for college.

She and they ended up fine!

Again, I don’t think tying positive goals to a financial or material reward is a big deal. [/quote]
