[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 64604, member: 1835"] Traci, I had to laugh when I read your comment about how my son probably already has plans to spend his money. In fact, every time we see him, he has pen and paper ready to calculate just how much he has in his account, minus this and that item he's asked me to buy for him using his funds, plus this and that which he has earned or has been gifted to him, and he knows exactly how much he plans to spend on various different items. I've thought that, if he doesn't have a chance of a career as an attorney (he'd win cases by default because his endless negotiating and arguing would send the judge and jury screaming out of the court room), he'd make a great accountant. I can totally see my son behaving very similarly to yours as far as the trust issue, and, in fact, we've already had a hot debate about that very thing. Trying to find a happy medium between not dwelling on past mistakes and keeping a positive tone is going to be difficult, I know... [/QUOTE]
