[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611762, member: 1550"] Well, 36 buys hmself AND his son gaming stuff that are REALLY EXPENSIVE. Since he whines about how he has no money all the time, I asked him how he could afford a $400 Playstation 4 (and he had paid way in advance). He got belligerent and mentioned stuff like "I can't work hard for this." "I still need a life." "Son likes it" (he does) etc. etc. etc. The point is, apparently he has money from somewhere and yet he says he has none even for clothes for son. Really???? Last year he got a $20K bonus check from work and spent almost all of it on Christmas presents for his son. I don't think he included necessities like clothes for him. Most likely it was all videogames and other toys. His ex complains that he tries to buy his son's love. That isn't really true. Not completely anyways. 36 will readily admit he is materialistic and spends money rather than saving it. I mean, a 20K bonus check is a big check yet he spent it all before Christmas. But he can't afford gas, and he can't take the train to Chicago, and he can't do this and he can't do that. Well, I guess not. All the $$$ goes to games. This adult child makes $80K a year and this did not include his bonus. Now where he lives that's a good living and I know he has to give a lot of it to his ex, which rankles him, but I don't believe he would have nothing left over if he stopped buying toys for himself and his son. But such is the makeup of a difficult child. They tend to sabotage themselves so I have no doubt he has no money, even though he SHOULD have SOMETHING left over... I think ya all know what I mean :) And, no, talks with him just get him irrate as he cuts us off and says, "I deserve to buy things for myself and J." Ok, ok. I give up! So does his father! [/QUOTE]
