WEEKEND OFF
Well I finally have a saturday where I have nothing planned. Well I do have to do laundry and cleaning. But that is beside the point.We are having a disscustion here this morning. The question is do we let our 18 yr old in college move in with 2 other girls 1 hr away? We have decided to let her know she can, but we will only give her so much for the rent a little lower that what she needs. She has to find a job to fund the rest as well as food. The apartment is all inclusive. She is currently working at swiss chalet as a waitress and loves it. We are payin for all her college education and we do not want it to be too easy. She needs to find ownership and responsibilty. Now my oldest already had this aspect of life under wraps when she left for college to live with my parents. Now that she is finished college and has a full time job her car insurance has to be paid by her. If they are living under our roof we ask that they help with groceries, by picking some up here and there and paying for them. Which Meg does all the time anyway she is my giving child. She has a servants heart. Now to figure out what the others are as they grow older you see the rewards you have taught them. I hope and pray I have taught them all the right way. God's way.Wel you all have a wonderful weekend God Bless

I'm sure you did a great job at raising your kids Aunty. Your home was and still is like a second home to me. Hopefully things with M and wanting to move out go ok. All my cousins are growing up so fast hehe...I still remember us all playing house and other pretend games. Its kind of weird seeing real indepence happening now with us all. Loves and Hugs!

Megs does have a good heart - it's a good quality but also a tough one too; especially the "wanting to bear others burdens" part of that character trait...
The kids are all different, it's amazing how they each turn out - they are individuals - just what God intended. Our hardest job is letting go and hope that we did our best while we had the chance.
Teach them well and when they are old they will not depart from it.

that is great that you are able to help them so much with their education...we want to help but don't want to foot the whole bill either cuz we think ownership in it will help them do better than getting a free ride! good to know others feel the same and it works!! and I am glad that we still have 5 more years before our first one even graduates!!
