[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 353305, member: 1157"] I helped Oldest get a cellphone as part of her Christmas present, but it's in her name an she pays the monthly bill (or not). I have agreed to buy her ostomy (medical) supplies for an indefinite period of time. They cost about $100/month and she has no insurance .. she can't live without them, so I feel it's necessary. I have been known to buy her groceries, but not in awhile.. I learned that the "I'm hungry and have no money for groceries" was a bit of a button-pusher. If it's clear via her Facebook status that she's going out and having fun (a great way to keep tabs on our difficult children ;-) ) , there is no reason I should pay for groceries. To me, she's "choosing" to be hungry. Interesting.. I treated her to a concert last night, and she had money for a couple of drinks plus bought me a CD of the opening band. So, she found money somewhere ;-) [/QUOTE]
