[QUOTE="Star*, post: 125575, member: 4964"] Yeah - been there done that (not with SSI but with a purchased gift) It was a portable DVD player that my poor, ssi getting mother got him as his "BIG" gift for Christmas last year. And he took it with him, he took that with him and his PS2, his stereo, bike - and none of it came back - I bought the PS2 - he said it got broken I saw the stereo - we told him it was gone - tough luck He made the bike - and well he's on parental house arrest so kiss it goodbye and the DVD player from my Mom 'Oh (nonchalantly) it was stolen' - I told him THAT was the exact reason he got no presents this year - I am SO SO SO tired of trying to fulfill his hearts desires only to have MY heart trampled on by February with admonishions of "It was stolen, it was junk anyway, I lost it, I sat on it, I dropped it, I traded it, I left it at a friends house - blah blah blah (sock puppet voice) and I'm done. I do have one question - if he has to spend his money - and can't have any on hand - can't he have a savings account or buy T-bills or bonds or something that he can cash in later? Believe me I KNOW this isn't your problem but someone along the way should teach him about saving and budgeting. Couldn't you get his money court ordered to savings? I'm so sorry SLSH - I fear I'm headed for the same types of things with Dude. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
