[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658630, member: 1550"] Not all kids are like that. But parents that overindulge their children with material things, don't make them work for anything, and tell them how cool it is that Mr. so-and-so has a fancy car and that he wishes HE could is setting the table for it. However, our adult children are adults. They decide thier own minds and do what they want to do. If they want dad's money and will reject you because of that, this is on the adult children's shoulders. Dad can't force them to go along with him. They are choosing to do it.Five year olds can be brainwashed, but twenty year olds know exactly what is going on.If you had the money, they'd probably like you better. Divorce is an ugly, hurtful event and it happens way too often these days. I know a woman in real life who has an ex who was suspected (but not charged) of killing a girl in a hit-and-run accident and has been arrested for cocaine use and he is very prosperous. His two girls live with him because he gives them things and he tells them that if they talk to their mother, he will cut off the money. So she doesn't see her girls. They don't want to lose the goodies that dad can provide. Says more about the girls, now adults, than the mother, I think. The man also physically abused the woman when married to her and his second wife is divorcing him. She recently called the woman to ask if she'd be a witness for her, saying he physically abused her too. These two girls were always coddled and given everything. When the family broke up, they chose to follow t he money. It's a sad state of affairs and, yes, getting even more common than it used to be I think. My own personal, liberal opinion is that most PEOPLE are too materialistic and worried about how they look to others and that includes Babyboomers. Most want to look great, like looks are very important, have fancy things, send their kids to fancy colleges (partly so they can brag) and partly because they have not learned how to be content with the simple things in life that are there for free. But that's a whole other thread and a whole other topic :) [/QUOTE]
