[QUOTE="nlj, post: 631091, member: 17650"] Oh those words, the conversations always started with those words. Followed by "I'll pay you back" (some time in the following century) "I won't ask again" (not this week anyway) "I feel really bad having to ask you" (but I'll still keep asking) "it's just been a bad week" (like every other week). And now he doesn't need money, despises money, hates money (like you!), lives in a treehouse, forages for food. It's a big improvement. Now the conversations start with "Hey, how are things?" and money never gets a mention, apart from how much evil it causes in the world. I'm not suggesting your son builds a treehouse of course, it's a bit extreme, - but you saying "no, because I said so" is great. Maybe it'll lead eventually to him finding his own way to live that doesn't involve asking you for money. We can hope anyway. Ha! I wish I'd made one of those - it doesn't work over the phone though :( [/QUOTE]
