[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 435872, member: 84"] Wow. I think I'd be strangling my husband if I were in the same situation. Sadly, my stepdad........the one I think of as my Daddy........was the same way, especially with my youngest bro. Didn't do bro a bit of good either as he was full blown difficult child at the time. We never did get my step dad to stop......and when he passed away when I was 21......bro had a rude awakening because no one else on earth was going to fill step dad's shoes. Fortunately......bro eventually manned up and learned to stand on his own as a man. I never co-sign. Never. It could be the Pope himself asking and I'd still say no. Even with the most trustworthy person on the planet.......life happens, people lose jobs, people get sick or injured......and you're stuck with the bill. Nope. And I'm with Star........what's wrong with him working for the money and saving it and maybe working out some sort of agreement? Even I could live with a compromise like that one........if I could afford it. But maybe a compromise like that would let your husband feel like he's helping but he won't be in a lose/lose situation if difficult child doesn't hold up his end. [/QUOTE]
