Daughter should pay her own expenses
Dear Annie: Our daughter, Madison, will be 24 soon. She is a very bright girl and an extremely talented artist. When she attended junior college here at home, we paid for her tuition, books and related expenses. She held part-time jobs and lived at home rent-free. Each semester, she dropped usually all but one or two classes. The last semester she attended, we told her she would have to pay for all school expenses and we would reimburse her for classes completed. She enrolled for a full schedule and completed only one class. This is our dilemma. Madison wants to attend a specific art school out of state. She has moved to that state and wants to start next semester. She has no credit history and cannot get a loan. She thinks we should co-sign a loan to pay her tuition. One semester at this school equals the price of an expensive car.
