[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 669376, member: 12856"] I get it. My son is working and sharing an apartment with 2 other kids. I knew things would be tight as he had just started the job and rent would eat up his first check. He did not ask me for anything, so I decided to take some groceries, hygiene items. and cleaning supplies. It felt good to be able to do that for him since he was adulating. Now he calls at lest twice a week with requests. We have had to have a discussion about how much involvement I feel is appropriate. I will from time to time bring groceries, but only when I want to. I will never do it if he asks. He started to say something about my helping his sister and brother. He stopped himself before he blew getting any help from me. He knows the only time I do anything for them is if I feel moved to do so, and only when they are doing everything they can to be self sufficient. [/QUOTE]
