[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 751563, member: 23742"] It is not too late to tell your son(s) that you will no longer allow this verbal nastiness to continue, and that if it does continue, you will stop paying for everything. (except maybe the loan, if it’s in your name). And then stick to your guns. Another thing I would do if my entitled adult son demanded I pay for something would be to tell him I will loan him the money to pay for his cell phone until he gets his first paycheck, at which time he will reimburse me, but that from now on, he has a paying job, and can pay his own cell phone bill. (And gym membership et al!) Of course, this is all easier said than done. But please do not allow this ungrateful child to take away your dignity with his verbal venom! You deserve so much better. I agree with Busy. Counseling could be very helpful. Sending hugs your way. Bless you. [/QUOTE]
