[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 137173, member: 2211"] Sue, since my name is on her account, when I check or pay bills from MY account, hers automatically shows up on the screen. I am also on my easy child's account. I don't routinely go on line just to check their accounts. I just happen to see them if I even bother to notice at all. And the reasons my name is on their accounts is so I could transfer funds from the college funds account into theirs (now only easy child since difficult child isn't going after all). The "college funds" account was initially set up when easy child was a sophomore. Monetary gifts, my own allotted savings amount deposited each paycheck, easy child's saved money from her summer job went into it. difficult child never used it because she wasn't working and then left college after only 2 classes, so it's basically been an account primarily for easy child. Anyway, long story short, I 'hapened' to notice her balance that day and didn't think a reminder was that out of line. Especially since our goal has been trying to teach her how to stretch and budget her money. But I can see that no amount of effort on my behalf is going to make that happen. difficult child has about $27 total between her two accounts. She's gotten them down to .02¢ and .11¢ before. H is the one who will give her money behind my back, something I ask him not to do. And difficult child knows this. She doesn't get paid until next FRiday, so she until then to cover her gas for back and forth to workwith a mere $27 (not to mention running to MB's house). I don't know how she plans on pulling that off. I do not plan on giving her any money. I did tell her, however, she could probably earn a few dollars helping H with our building addition this weekend. But she stared back at me blankly. I guess she doesn't want to do that either.
