[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 621648, member: 1550"] Cynical one here. If he has a Laptop and Nexxus pad, he should sell them to pay for the hotel. I'm serious too. Here we have a homeless man walking around with a Laptop and a Nexus pad. Pretty novel. I don't even have those two things and I have a home. Hmmmmmmmmm....Know what I mean?? You can't stop Granma and Grandpa from enabling him, and I really would not angst over it. You can not make their decisions for them. If the future is like the past, they will learn. He is selfish to be asking retirees to pay anything for him. I'll bet he could get a job as a cashier at a gas station or flipping burgers or even a Newspaper Route if he wanted to work. The point seems to be that he wants other people to pay for the crazy things he does, like traveling with no job, no plan and no money. I get angry at my ex too for handing out big wads of money to 36. 36 has a really well paying job and while I have no problem with ex helping him out, he always tells 36 he has to pay him back and guess how much 36 has paid him back? Never. But can I do anything about it? Nope. If ex wants to dish out $40K for his custody battle and get nothing back and now help him close on his new house and get not a dime back for his efforts, why is that any of my business. 36 will say to me, "Dad always tells me I have to pay him back, but I can't. It's never going to happen." I don't tell ex what he says because it is between them. Your 32 is using them because the kitty has run dry at your house and I feel badly that he is taking advantage of elderly people, but they are elderly...not stupid. They are doing what they want to do. You can't really do anything to change that. Sadly, he will keep using them for as long as they allow it.
