[quote=Anonymous]While you can, and should, remind AP of the program requirements, you're not really in a position to police how she spends her free time. Yes you can put restrictions on the car but that's about the end of it.

My first AP had zero motivation to complete her course requirements. I offered to go with her to help her register. I sent her links to the fun travel weekend AP "courses" and handed her course catalogs from the local community college. She wasn't interested, wasn't extending, and I wasn't going to pretend I can force her to go to a class she's not interested in.

Current AP has taken a side gig here & there - taking family portrait photos. I can remind her of the visa requirements, but I'm not in a position to ban her from meeting up with this family at a park, or blocking their check from depositing into her account.

Could I pronounce that I forbid it? Sure, but that just incentivizes her not to tell me things and I want to be able to give her good advise, which I can't do if she won't voluntarily share with me. [/quote]
