[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 696308, member: 19025"] I should add, that I been through the mistake of making contracts and making deals. Every single time, he made us very sorry we tried. He even ripped up the contract and threw it all over my car just to show how much it meant to him. This after it didn't go his way. Fast forward about a year and We are finally at a point with son where has a job and pays all his own expenses. Gas, car insurance(for old car that family member gave him) and the latest one is cell phone. We had to pull the plug on every single one and then it was on him to either make it happen or not. He is very proud of himself and he is smart enough to know that he legitimately is earning his way. And that helps with his self esteem. I also feel better knowing we are laying the groundwork for him to be on his own someday. [/QUOTE]
