[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 468802, member: 12928"] Janet, this is allowance money (I know, I know). This morning, I've already had one text, two voice mails, and 10 minutes of knocking on the door (none of which I responded to) because he's out of money and is hungry. Every single mom-cell in my brain is screaming that I have to give him money, can't let my baby starve, etc. The more rational parts are reminding me this is a slippery slope, and that I need to be consistent, even if it's hard. I set his ringtone to silent (oh, great, another call). He's actually standing in the hallway outside my apartment talking to someone on his phone now. I'm essentially pretending to not be home (which I actually wouldn't be, if I weren't sick - I leave for work a lot earlier than this usually, but have a sinus infection and stayed home today. ETA: I just texted him back that I wasn't going to give him any money. His response "why?" [/QUOTE]
