[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he is immature and would make mistakes like this regardless of how much money you could give him.

There are work study jobs he could get, etc.  He's gotta stop comparing himself to all the other kids.  There are plenty that have to work.  He's never going to have anything if he doesn't learn to work.

Ask him to send you his grades before you send him any more cash.  [/quote]

I told him I need to see grades before I'll even consider any of the things he's asking for--to take his car back to campus (uh, pay to have it repaired first and let me see your grades. Then maybe it can go in the fall) and to rent an apartment with some friends. (ha!)[/quote]

Good.  Now stick with it.  He can do work-study on campus.  He doesn't need a care (neither of my kids have cars - can't afford it).  Tell him to hijack his fanny into the work-study office when he returns and get a job on campus.  He needs to become more responsible and learn the value of a dollar.[/quote]
