[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 755629, member: 18958"] Dear 200Meters What a tough spot about the money. I think I would have done the same as you. One time only. I am not sure that youngest is NOT involved in this shakedown. Because that is what it is. The sooner youngest gets that his messes, are his, the better. That time seems to be NOW. If he keeps heading down this path, he is choosing it. I would urge you to start posting here during the decision making process, not after. I have found that even though I CHOOSE differently than the prevailing "advice" I receive, in the long run it is very helpful to me to hear the panoply of views. We are the most vulnerable when our kids come to us in peril. But this is when the learning seems to be greatest, in my experience. I am not too far behind you with the Vegan business. My only issue is I'm a milk user in my coffee and tea. I have tried milk alternatives (almond, cashew, etc.--the only ones I've not tried are oat and coconut, and this is my only stumbling block). Cheese I love, but I think I could move beyond. Maybe the thing to do is what you're considering. What is that called, lacto-ovo or something, when you eat eggs and dairy? Maybe I don't need to be an extremist. Good to hear from you 200Meters. I am worried about Youngest in that he seems to be gang-oriented at this point. He seems not to be vulnerable. Rather, his choices seem to be driving this, I fear. He's too full of himself as a "bad boy." That would be more the reason for you and Mrs.200Meters to get tough. To not feed this. [/QUOTE]
