[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 260604, member: 2459"] Without knowing anything other that what you post here....I think you did fine. Yes, generally financial stuff isn't anything the kids need to know specifics on. BUT...I think in this case, easy child 2 has a right to know what's going on. Her mom, for whatever reason, isn't the most honest and forthcoming person and, at least in my humble opinion, easy child 2 needs to realize this before she starts acting the same way. You didn't present it in a way that puts her mom down or is insulting to her. You presented it in a matter of fact way with information that she could understand but yet not so much that she knows every penny you spend. SHE was the one who started making the connections between what her mom tells her and what actually goes on. Not to sound as if she needs to turn against her mom but this is stuff she needs to understand, as you said. I wouldn't feel bad about it. And if her mom gets upset? Eh....that's her problem. Yes it will probably affect easy child 2 in some way but when doesn't it? The good part of that is that easy child 2 obviously knows you guys are the.....*searching for the right word*.....consistant ones and while her mom's reaction may not be fair to her....I think she knows she has allies in you and her dad.
