[quote=Anonymous]Give her a lesson in real life finance. How much does your house cost? What about rent? How much does food cost? How much has your family spent on doctors, therapists, and drugs? What does it take to navigate a school system if you need an IEP? How much harder is this to do if you have no money and only a high school degree? How much money do you spend on transportation? If you, OP, are a SAHM, what would you do if you had no $$ or if your spouse didn't have a job? Or if you didn't receive money from family? How much does college cost? How about daycare? You need to make concrete a lot of the realities of the cost of living. She is a normal 14 year old who has been sheltered from the financial realities of life in DC. Once she realizes that she would probably not have enough money to treat her ADHD or to live in the house that she does or to eat the food that she eats or the clothes that she wears, she might start thinking differently about her education.[/quote]
