How many of you have 18 year old kids that are working and going to college? |
She is an excellent student and wonderful kid... We provide her Cell phone, $50 in gas money, insurance (car and health) and free room and board as long as she gets good grades and goes to school full time. I do not charge her rent and she gets a small allowance for doing some extra chores outside of normal living stuff. My one friend thinks she should be charged rent! But since she is an honor student and does volunteer work ( In an Art Gallery, plus helps out at Church with Youth activities!) as well as hold a job too, I just want her to do good things and I do not want to take the little money she does earn. She is a good saver. Am I a softy? your not a softy. Im 18 years old. I have a job and i go to school full time. My parents say as long as i keep up my grades, and work, they will pay for stuff. Sometimes i pay for my gas money, but they usually cover it. my parents thing say that these grades are what is going to help me in the future. They are here to help me do great in life. no...you should only start charging if shes out of school and still living with u guys I don't think you should charge her rent as long as she is going to school full time. However, you need to stick to your guns. If she drops out, begins going to school part time, or continues living at your house after she graduates from college, then you should charge her rent. As long as she's in college... continue as planned and do not charge rent. How can one be TOO GOOD to their children who are on task and a benefit to our society? No. My daughter is going to college this fall. Everything will be paid for. She will probably get a part time job in the spring to pay for her entertainment. She is working this summer and saving money for the fall. Now if her grades drop, she will be moving home! We will give her a free ride as long as the grades are up. I'm not a parent, but I have friends and twin siblings who are on their way to college. I just graduated. Not at all. Actually some of the parents I know refuse to allow their kids to work so their can concentrate on their studies. Most wouldn't charge rent regardless of their child's academic standing. A good friend of mine lived at home during her undergrad and she was rarely there. By rarely, I mean laundry and sleep with the once weekly dinner. It seems rather unfair to charge when most of the time your daughter will be at the library, or in classes, with friends &c. If she had no respect for what she is given then she should be charged rent to gain a true understanding of what being on her own would really be like. That said she sounds like she is a well grounded person, who is very responsible in her studies, work, and volunteer work. I think it is great you reward her by allowing her the opportunity to better herself and get a good start on her adult life. I know I had to move out because I went to school far away and made some bad financial decisions that I am paying for now. |
