[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 458280, member: 12241"] I am curious - you said that you will not give him the financial information he needs to apply for student loans/fin. aids etc. Is this because it asks for specific account information such as actual account numbers and balances and you are worried he will do some mischief with this info, or is it because you do not support him applying for student loans in general? If it is the later and you are not held responsible for the repayment [aka you are not a co-signer or co-owner of the debt], then you are meddling with his ability to get student loans and continue with his education. Whether you agree with the way he is trying to get there or not, he is trying to achieve his own goals, and I think you need to on one side butt out and let him learn for himself how tough it is being grown up and being responsible for ones actions, but on the other hand not throw obstacles in his way of getting there. Now if you are concerned about him using your financial information to hurt you or cause financial trouble to you, that is one thing. Or if him using said info to apply for said loans makes you also liable for the repayment of them if he is defaulting on the loans. But refusing the information just to be contrary or to show your disapproval, seems to be a great way or permanently throw a huge monkey wrench into your future relationship with him. Can you elaborate a bit on this so I can better understand? [/QUOTE]
