She's 23 years old and in law school, and her dad is paying the full tuition, fees and all her expenses, including credit cards, vacations, and a nice, new relatively expensive car so she doesn't have to start her life after school under the pressure of students loans and debts. But she doesn't pay any attention to what she's spending. She routinely leaves food out of the fridge overnight to go bad, buys expensive clothes she never wears and throws them out with the tags still on them, rents videos and never returns them, and refers to herself as being one of the 'rich kids at school'. While her dad's taking care of her needs out of his feeling of obligation, he's far from rich. Would it be completely out of line for me to try to enforce some discipline? I know the whole evil step-mom scenario. At this rate, her dad will have to work extra years before retiring, and it's not serving her to not learn the value of money or how to budget. The waste is very hard for me to handle.
