[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 622368, member: 805"] No disrespect intended, but there is little or no grace in "I've always pulled my own weight..." Your mom is not doing this because she feels you NEED it, or because she is making a judgement that you CAN'T do it on your own. Your mother is doing it because she loves you or for another reason that you are to privy to. If you feel your mother is in danger of putting herself in future financial distress, then take the funds she sends you (and the money you would have spent on dinner or grocery treats) into a special savings account to share with mom in the future if the need arises. I believe you hurt her more by your refusal to accept her gifts with graciousness than the potential of her being hurt by being generous. [/QUOTE]
