dont pay!!! if she is old enough to live in sin then she is old enough to pay here way. why do people baby their kids so much? its ridiculous. school is expensive but it is possible. i worked full time all thru out college, it was tuff but i made it. i missed out on parties and some stuff but it was worth it in the end. stop babying her.
Personally I would not pay for her living expenses. My daughter is only 11 years old and we have already talked about her staying at home until she finishes an AS degree. That way she won't have to pay bills etc. Unfortunately (myself included) some girls get the idea that they want to play house with some idiot who in not too long will be gone. Its unfortunate you can't get her to concentrate on school alone. It will be hard going otherwise.

This is soooo true. Most relationships in that age bracket do not last long. Put them in the same dwelling and it could deteriorate even faster. She needs to squash this deal before it's too late.

I agree as well. If she is a freshman, she should really be at a dorm if she wants a taste of living on her own. I don't think she should be shacking up with someone at such a young age, especially when she's got college ahead of her. In my experience, people usually get an apt. off campus in their sophemore year.

Also living in a Dorm (or sorority for that matter) will allow her to connect with more students and build networks of friends who she can study with and participate in activities. Every student needs at least one year of living in a student community to help them adjust to living on their own. My university demanded that all freshmen live in the dorms the first year unless there were extenuating circumstances.
i pay for college myself. and as for moving out i am going to school full time and working full time. she can do it if she finds a place to work with her school schedule. and shell have help from her boyfriend so i would say no.
Hell, no.
If her education is paid for, I take it she's on scholarship and fairly bright? If so, she's probably smart enough to understand the concept of the consequences of her actions.
Put away your checkbook, mom. If she wants to play house, let her pay for it herself. If you're going to pay for anything, make her a gift of a case of condoms.
