I have a 17 year old SD that is greduating this year. My issue is that her mother never wants to pay for anything. Right now she is not employed but she got her income tax just this month. Well she is out spending her money like she has no one to care for. I talked to my husband and mentioned to him that my SD and mother should go half on the grad ring and we pay for pictures, invited, dinner, etc. So all she would need to do is maybe pay 150-200 total, not alot of money. My issue is that if we leave it up to them to get the ring and the mother does not help SD then she will be left without grad ring. If that happens then we will be the MEAN parents. Wht should we do?
