Her Daughter Has Been Failing College, So She Gave Her An Ultimatum Of Either Paying Rent Or Getting Kicked Out
This woman has a twenty-year-old daughter named Laura, who was enrolled in a state university.
And even though Laura had been majoring in computer science, she found out some pretty shocking news.
After accidentally finding an email from Laura’s school, she learned that her daughter had been put on academic probation. Moreover, Laura would lose all of her state aid if she did not start passing her college classes.
So, out of worry, she tried talking to Laura about it a few times.
“I brought this to her attention at least twice, but she said that she was handling school. So, I did not press her on this further as I didn’t feel right micromanaging a grown woman,” she recalled.
She did, however, say that if Laura lost her state aid, she would have to get a job to cover the tuition costs.
Now, a semester has since passed since those conversations, and just recently, she found out that Laura has been at home instead of going to school.
Moreover, this has been a consistent occurrence over the past two weeks. So, she finally pressed Laura about it again.
And Laura ultimately revealed that she failed all of her classes but could not afford to pay for them.

And to her, that basically meant that her daughter had dropped out of college– which she was furious about.
“So, I told her that at this point, she will have to get a job and pay rent and cell phone in my house,” she said.
“I told her she has thirty days to find a job in which thirty percent of her monthly check is due. And if she does not find a job, she will have to find another place to live.”
After hearing this, though, Laura immediately burst into tears and accused her of being an uncaring mother. But, she honestly does not care anymore.
“Despite me feeding, clothing her, putting up with her, taking her to the doctor, and even picking up her prescriptions, she has done nothing around the house except watch videos on her phone and play video games,” she vented.
Apparently, Laura also leaves trash on the floor and dishes in the sink, and her room is a disaster. So, she really does not feel like she can afford to care for a “grown woman” anymore. Nonetheless, she is not sure if her response to Laura’s school struggles was the best course of action or if she was way too unsupportive.
Do you think Laura might be struggling with a deeper issue and needs more support? Was her response to her daughter warranted or too harsh?
