[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 427897, member: 84"] Well Jo, at least you caught yourself. Sometimes we get pulled in even when we try hard not to. I was going to save certain coupons I won't use for katie just as I do the other girls. Notice the past tense on that. She's complaining about her tight budget, yet kayla informs me of video games being bought and movies and yeah. It's not my place to tell katie how to spend her money at 31 yrs old. But at this point I see she has a tad more life lessons to learn. I had to chuckle though when she didn't get her forms turned in to welfare in time and lost her benefits.......she says to me that it was a good thing I taught her how to budget or else she'd not have anything left on the food stamp card to hold her until the benefits kick in again. I had to chuckle because yes many years ago I did attempt to teach her to budget. It's good she still has stamps to tide her over.......but give the girl cash and she's like a little kid. I do realize some of this may be due to M controlling all monies for the entire time they've been together. But still. You've got about 700.00 to last an entire month and you're buying video games and movies? She still has a lot to learn. My saving coupons for her is not going to teach her. Like easy child said, she can walk to walmart and buy the sunday paper and clip her own coupons. lol Both yours and mine will only figure it out when they finally get tired of always running short of cash.
