[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313695, member: 1963"] you know, I had a decent handle on my family's finances on the 'what comes in and what goes out' level. It NEVER would've occurred to me to say ANYTHING to my parents about how money was actually spent, on or by whom. Closest I ever came was to ask if something I wanted was affordable. I didn't need to know how much 'spending money' was left for the week or that. I got exactly the info I needed. in my opinion this is a SERIOUS boundaries issue and unfortunately, it should've been nipped in the bud, years ago. If you can't do that, well...it is time for difficult child to handle his own money...living on his own. Since he's such an expert on budgeting and discretionary spending, it should be very easy for him. Janet, in your case, after the way Jamie insulted you, I would not only have been livid, but I would have told him to take his money and stick it someplace where they have to bring in sunlight with an endoscope.
