[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 595909, member: 84"] Your parents and brother will catch on to difficult child in due time. In the meantime........this situation is only going to drive you batty if you allow it to. If brother decides on a more expensive laptop, let him pay for it........the entire gift. phht I'd be hard pressed to gift a child with anything who can't manage to treat me with respect at the very least. It's not a requirement that my kids like me, but by darn I demand respect. Given her attitude? phht on that college tuition too. Wouldn't hurt her a bit to work her way through school like her Dad did. I wouldn't worry about it. If they want a solution, let them come up with one.......and deal with it if she doesn't follow up with her studies and the money gets wasted. I refused to pay for my kids college. They were adults and it was up to them to find their own way of going whether by scholarship, working, or loans. It simply was not my problem. I've never bought into the obligation that parents should pay for their children's college. That just never sat well with me. [/QUOTE]
