[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748741, member: 4152"] That sounds very difficult and sad about Kay. However, to be honest, we are in almost the same boat. I just treated our daughter to a mani / pedicure. She squeezed eyebrow services out of me. Huge bill. We gift her these things for holidays or if she is under the weather. Her grooming can be terrible so we do it largely for health reasons. Then she called and wanted $10 to go out with friends. She has an allowance based on her disability income. We said no. She started screaming. We still said no. She calls with these requests 6.5 days a week as she can’t seem to budget and/or feels entitled. WTH? She rarely (like ever) calls with anything but a money request of some kind. As a side note... we are saying no a LOT If we don’t, she will spend her food money and then be out. We have informed her we won’t help her be irresponsible and if she spends her food money on silly things she very well might need to use the food bank. [/QUOTE]
