<prompt> Human: So I know this isnt parenting per se, but hopefully you guys can help me.Im 27 and married. My niece had some trouble picking a school, but when she finally decided, it was too late for her to get into the dorms. She is from out of state, but my wife and I decided that we would help her out she has no money and her recently divorced parents arent helping by letting her live with us. Were letting her live with us expense rentutilityfood free for her first year.My parents her grandparents made a deal with her that they would help her pay for tuition by matching whatever she earns. Tuition is in-state, so she only needs to make a few thousand each semester.Heres the problem: my wife got her a job at a local restaurant that is run by one of our friends. The deal would be to start as a hostess minimum wage and move up to a server 25-30hour. She has been here since the end of August, but she is still hosting. Our friend has offhandedly mentioned that our niece hasnt been taking the job very seriously and it seems to me that she is far more focused on sports and friends than earning what she needs to in order to afford her tuition this semester. She has only been working 1-2 days per week and they have only been weekdays.Should I say something? Part of me thinks I shouldnt say anything until push comes to shove since Im not her parent, but on the other hand, we are doing her a big favor and my wife put her neck out to get that job for her.Please help... Any advice would be appreciated.UPDATE: My wifes friend called my wife last night to let her know that my niece is going to be fired on Wednesday. She was scheduled to work on Friday and Saturday with a staff meeting on Sunday morning. On Friday, she tried to call in an hour before her shift to go volunteer at a school event. Our friend told her that she couldnt call in this late without finding a replacement, so my niece reluctantly came in anyway. The owner was there and did not like the level of performance she was giving. On Saturday, she called in an hour before her shift again. This time, she said she was sick. And on Sunday, she showed up with a hicky on her neck and was falling asleep in the meeting right next to the ownerLooks like well have to figure out whether or not to kick her out when she cant pay her tuition. My parents have already said that they will not budge on their agreement to only match what she earns to pay for her tuition.  <response>: I think as her aunt and uncle who are providing her with free boarding, you can have an honest and serious talk with her. Sit her down one evening and tell her that you are worried, and why. It is still her life and her decision, and she has the right to totally screw it up, shes supposed to be an adult now, but a fair warning from some caring adults in her life could help.
