That’s what I think is the best course of action.  I do not want to cut access to car because she does need to be able to get to work & school.  But we think we may have her make a payment to us as a “lease” on the vehicle.  I’m a little unsure on this because we do expect her to take that vehicle to college but wouldn’t have her make a payment to us for it.  So making her pay $300 a month know would seem like a punishment to her because she moved out.

I just want her to understand that adult life is very hard.  Freedom is great but it comes with the loss of a lot of comfort and much more responsibility.

I don’t think it’s a great idea to give her all this freedom and no responsibility. [/quote]

So what happens if she doesn't feel like making her car payment.

She wants tough love.  Let her have tough love then.  What is this half foot in half foot out deal?[/quote]
