[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 751556, member: 17720"] OMG! Sadly, Son has said some similar things to me and his father when we won't give him what he wants. It startles me every time I read about someone's OWN CHILD saying such things. And the "please" in the middle is just so bizarre. At least he has manners, right? It's common for our difficult ones to react in anger when we stop funding the money train. In that sense, your son is unfortunately not unusual...and with your son having that model in his experience, maybe that's his go-to course of action. What to do? My first reaction is to send him a snarky text asking him to choose between shallow piece of human feces or giant herpe because obviously you can't be both. :D Then cut off EVERY. SINGLE. THING. you are presently funding without any further notice. But even though he's being an absolute @$$ right now, he did start a new job and you don't want to sabotage that. I guess I'd communicate as much to him...that you purchased the minutes IN SPITE OF his outrageous words to you because he might need it for his job. Phones to me are a different animal because they are for our peace of mind more than anything else. I would cut off the other things, like the gym membership and the storage unit. [/QUOTE]
