[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 137167, member: 87"] Jo -- I am confused on a point. You did not want H cashing the paycheck for your daughter. You want her to set up direct deposit but she won't. But...you went into her checking/savings accounts online to see what she has in there to make sure she does not run out of money?? You have access to her password to look at her accounts? I guess I would let her learn a lesson on her own that she has run out of money or overdrawn. Melissa, too, runs threw money like it's play money. She, too, has tattoo's (3 now and wants another). She, too, refuses direct deposit because she likes to see the actual cash that she's earned. But I do not have access to her checking/saving accounts. If she screws them up, it is going to be her hard luck. We have warned her enough that we will not lend her money if she does that. We have told her to budget her money. Of course, then she tries to blackmail us and says that if she runs out of money, we will HAVE to give her money for car gas or she won't be able to go to work and will lose her job. Maybe we gave the wrong response on that one, but we told her then we would have to give her a ride because she was not getting gas money nor using our car and that meant she'd ONLY be going to work and not anywhere else. I know it's hard to let them learn on their own. Believe me, I know. Melissa is 22 and still has the mindset of a carefree teenager. sue [/QUOTE]
