[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 400659, member: 1233"] Wow. This is one that Wiz never tried. He thought we should be held accountable to fund his every whim and want and he should not be accountable for anything that didn't thrill him at the moment - esp not logical/natural consequences of HIS choices and actions. No way did he want emancipation because HIS money shouldn't be used to pay for what he WANTED - that was OUR JOB. His money was there for him to have in case we said no, which we were not "allowed" to do in his world. I often told him that when he was king of the universe it could happen his way, but until he was an adult it was going to be his dad and my way. He didn't want all the hassles of errands, grocery shopping, work, etc... - all of which he saw as the job of the parent even though putting any kind of restraint of him was NOT the job of anyone, esp the parent. boy is Kanga going to be furious when she finally realizes that while she is allowed to ASK for this, that it is NOT going to happen and the adults in her world think it is funny. I hope and pray that some day she is capable of living on her own - getting there is going to be a long and winding road. [/QUOTE]
