[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 487370"] TL - you're also right... But ... He has expensive committments right now (350/m rent, $3500 tuition bill + living expenses) to which he is bound. No way he can do that w a $7.50/hr pt job. I am pretty sure he is still in school. Part of me is glad he is (FINALLY) feeling the pinch. Maybe it will turn the tide? Yes, I hate that he is selling things he wanted and we gave him. But on the other hand, maybe it's a lesson. For him? (For us? I dunno. ) I know I don't want to give him cash. But I am not quite ready to treat him differently than his brothers. We chose to give a laptop bc he needs it for school. So, it supports the " go to school" choice. I guess if he sells it, shame on us. On the plus side, it's a Christmas + birthday gift, so we're off the hook til next year, lol. "The lady doth protest too much." I hate when ppl ask for advice & then defend their point of view which is what I am doing!! Really, you all are posting my inner conflict. I hate that this is so hard. Thanks for your insight, really. [/QUOTE]
