[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 165577, member: 53"] Okay, he is going with fosters to the Beach? Is this the same fosters who gave him so many things when he first came to them? If so, why does he need beach money? I mean going to the beach is all about sitting out in the sun, playing in the water and maybe an occasional icee to cool off........won't fosters be able to spring for that? Certainly if they are taking him aren't they springing for lodgings, food, and occasional ice cream? Are they making conditions for his "vacation"? Guess I would be a tightwad and not give much money, maybe $20 if you can spare it. He needs to learn the tough lesson that only HE can save $$$ to pay off probation fees. This is the life he has chosen. At some point he has to learn that the "fun money spending vacation" comes AFTER he has fufilled other money obligations. And frankly is he buying some goofy T-shirt or what that he doesn't really need? Not really trying to be the voice of gloom and doom, but isn't this sending him the message that if I need some dollars, just ask Mom and lay on the guilt trip that I've never been on a beach vacation? In the end only you can make the decision of what YOU are willing to do. I don't have all the facts or the emotional investment to tell you what you ought to do, just know you need to feel comfortable with what you do. [/QUOTE]
