[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 373441, member: 1233"] Star, I feel the same way. My parents felt it terribly shameful that I did not allow the kids to borrow books from the library, or have a library card. I know not why. But they can have cards as soon as they are 18 and I don't have any responsibility for them. Otherwise they can sit and read them at the library or we will buy books used or new or get them via freecycle. Period. After many years of thinking I was ridiculous but he was willing to indulge me, husband created this debacle. He learned today that I expect HIM to look for the books around the house also. Talk about shock! Why does HE have to look for them? Let me think..... I let him know that thinking that way does NOT fly. NOT when he agreed to take responsibility for the books and the fine. If he wants to pay half the fine himself he can skip the searching. Otherwise it is at least half his fault. I thought his teeth were going to fall out, his mouth fell open so hard!!! [/QUOTE]
