[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 22602, member: 1514"] Jamie isnt great with money either but he doesnt go on the spending sprees like a bipolar person would where he wracks up credit cards in a weekend. He might spend $200 on something for his buddies and then starve if he thought they needed it more. I have seen him give away his money to his friends because they were in trouble and him eat peanut butter and ramen noodles for two weeks. He has also sent money to his brother for the same reason before. He was never explosive. His impulsiveness did cause some damage at times but it was because he simply didnt think things through. For instance, he kicked a ball in the house once and never considered it might go through the window. Oops. It wasnt done on purpose but it did break the window. He was mortified. That was the major difference between him and his brother. When he did something wrong he almost punished himself because he had such a degree of remorse and guilt that what we had to do to him was almost secondary. Simply making him help fix the window was enough of a punishment. Cory on the other hand would rant and rave and claim it wasnt his fault and that the window shouldnt have been there and he wasnt going to help and on and on. Not to mention cory would have broken the window on purpose. [/QUOTE]
