[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 285216, member: 1157"] The finance question could also be from talking to other kids.. the "keeping up with the Joneses" thing. Youngest always compared herself, from a material standpoint, to others (and came up short), and teens have a way of bragging about their "stuff." My parents are gonna buy me a car, I have this or that game system, these high-dollar shoes, yada yada yada. I tended to get pretty matter of fact about it, and just say "hey, you want it, get a job." I gave up trying to explain my finances, Youngest didn't get it. (She still doesn't, and I think there are some processing issues there). I think the blame mom thing is a pretty standard "cycle" ... I can only compare it to Residential Treatment Center (RTC), but I know I had some phonecalls like that with Youngest sometimes, during that time. She ran hot and cold. Lots of time to think and dwell on these things.. and save them all up for the phonecall with mom. [/QUOTE]
