[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 574132, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Janet, I do agree that Billy, and now Cory, as adults still living at home, have an obligation to you and Tony to pay their share. They should contribute their share of all household utilities, as well as the total for any extra upgrades they want. They should also be contributing to your grocery bill or buying their own. Billy will be lost if he ever moves out on his own - he will be clueless as to what it takes to run independently. I mean, my difficult child wanted to upgrade to an iPhone last year (from just a standard phone without data). I told him I would pay the one dollar for the iPhone 4 but he would have to pick up the data charges since all I was paying for was the cell phone on my plan. He pays me $30 from his allowance or his tips from working down at the Hipp. Do you and Tony deposit his check in the bank? I actually use a online bank for savings and direct deposit my paycheck into my local bank checking account.
