DD is 19 and has spent three years at college. Seemingly doing very little, as she still claims she 'doesn't feel ready' to apply to University.
She lives with my first husband (her choice). Up until now, I have given her a monthly allowance and paid for everything for her (clothes, shoes, etc). I can ill-afford this and I think she should get a job, even if it is part-time.
However, she seems to just assume that I will always do this and guilt-trips me heavily for getting a divorce when she was 14, though it was very quiet and amicable. I have told her to apply for jobs, but she refuses, or she stalls and makes excuses that she is 'too busy' (with what, I have no idea, she gets very mediocre exam results despite being bright).
I don't want to give her any more money. I want her to go and work because, though I love her very much, I think she is being lazy about this.
Would I be unreasonable to do this?
