I don't think this is good, correct me if I am wrong

SD20 is getting ready to enter her third year of college. She is carrying a whopping 2.5 GPA, AND she hasn't even begun her major courses (still finishing up her gen ed requirements). I told DH SD20 is going to have a hard time getting a job with a 2.5 GPA, but I anticipate it will drop further as she takes on her harder major courses.

Those of you who have kids in college, what do you think?

The definition of insanity?

Something funny:

SD20 got a job at a restaurant, hostess I believe. Works there a few months, gets fired. Somehow is in the right place at the right time and gets hired back. Drinks on the job, pulls people out of their cars in the parking lot by their hair, posts online about how her boss tells her she's mean. Amazingly, SD20 gets fired again.

Should I or shouldn't I?

SD20's family day for college is coming up, and DH likes to delude himself that he and SD20 have a "good" relationship. If "good" consists of accepting lies and forking over cash while turning a blind eye to what you KNOW is going on, then he is correct.

So, he wants to take our two BDs (ages 10 and 7) along for the ride. I will NOT go because SD20 is a waste of skin. It is a 5-hour drive one way, 10 hours round trip. Unless I let him borrow my car, they will be jammed into his tiny stick shift truck (getting three people in is a tight fit).

DH will never act on the writing on the wall

DH has been really overcompensating lately when it comes to SD20 because he feels bad she lost her job. She was fired for poor behavior, I don't blame them, she is a hot mess.

So he's been paying MORE than his share of her college expenses plus handing over hundreds of dollars to her every month because he feels sorry for her.

SD20 turns right around and uses that money to buy drugs and alcohol. He said previously he told her if he caught her drinking while underage, he would stop paying for her college.

SD20's drug/alcohol issues are getting ridiculous

I'm trying to decide whether to tell DH or just let it slide.

SD20 admitted to DH that she has been drinking since she was 13. She drinks to excess EVERY weekend and has admitted to drinking on the job (from which she has since been fired). So the latest is drugs. She admits to smoking marijuana, but recently her boyfriend posted a photo of what I can only presume to be cocaine, in a line on a table. He also posted about SD's crack use. And now I presume she's abusing prescription medication, as she's talking about taking Adderall and Xanax.
