[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 332904"] I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. As for taxes..finances, I think it is just that age. My 26 year old son has lived at home most of his adult life. college for two years, then back, job out of town then back, in with friends, then back(twice). Even though I pay his bills, feed him, laundry...he thinks he owes nothing. And when he does get a bill he doesn't even open it. For whatever reason thinks he shouldn't have to pay it. I did not stay home with my kids. I couldn't. No possible way. But, I do not believe a stranger raised them. I worked 12 hour shifts and had 3 days off one week and 4 days off the next. husband took them and picked them up. I claimed my older son on my taxes and he was upset. For the month or two that he did work he wanted to get that money. With me claiming him he got much less. but tough. I talk to people at work with kids this age too. We just shake our heads. Did we do to much for them? Did we give too much of ourselves? They just don't get it. easy child JUST got his first job with benefits. I asked him last night how much they take out for insurance, and what kind of insurance. He doesn't know. He BETTER NOT of denied insurance. He just says he doesn't get insurance. ?????? My parents were not wealthy, but they did make me do it on my own. I was a single mom. Had government assistance until I started working full time. Went back to college when easy child was 1. Not a degree, a program that did place me in a job. But my parents didn't help. I struggled. I often wondered why they didn't help. I know NOW. I had to struggle to make it. I had to experience that to appreciate what little I now have. But my kids...they have no clue. Not a clue how hard we work and how we do it all for them. I am sorry she doesn't realize it. She will some day. In the meantime...take care of yourself and I hope you feel better. [/QUOTE]
