[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 704553, member: 4152"] The fact that there are jobs in prison really changes things for me. You should seriously consider not giving him anything or VERY little. Maybe $5 a week. Maybe nothing. And again, be honest with your husband. Hopefully, your son will figure out that he has no right to push you around. AND hopefully he will figure out to find some job in the prison for any extras. This is part of life. When I get sales calls and the guy is pushy I remove my ear from the receiver so I can no longer hear the person and say "thank you but I am not interested. good luck and have a nice day" and then I quickly hang up. I haven't done that yet with our difficult child, but have thought if push came to shove, I definitely would. I have gotten off the phone pronto and so far, that has been good enough. BUT, if my daughter was REALLY harassing me...I absolutely would remove my ear from the phone and say into the speaker " I've decided to greatly reduce the money I am giving you and will only be giving you x per month with no exceptions. I'm sure you will do well." You wont be able to hear anything he says (or yells). Then hang up. No guilt. No fuss. No drama. [/QUOTE]
