[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 587978, member: 15473"] You are so right! difficult child came up and stayed with easy child for one night while husband and I attended a ball. Apparently during that visit she told easy child about how we needed to give her more money and we weren't giving her all she needed. ARGH! I don't have to give her **** since she moved out but of course she is so spoiled she doesn't see it that way. She apparently doesn't count the $500 prom dress and $90 prom shoes she just got, the car payments, car insurance, and cell phone payments or the $400 a month we send her grands so they don't pay the price for her living there. She also had no problem showing up the next day at the mall and spending several hundred dollars. I am really going to have to keep an eye on that because I think we are becoming her walking ATM. husband on the other hand is a tight wad unless he wants something. Then all reality goes out the window and it must be had right then and there. Since we are currently trying to sell our house all our extra money is being applied to our mortgage. Recently husband has decided to do the Bourbon Trail here in KY and has been buying tshirts and bourbon bottles for his display cabinet. I can't seem to get him to understand that he can buy bourbon bottles anywhere anytime so it could wait until after we move and can better afford it. I guess I could understand better if he were buying highly collectible items but he just buys the same bottle I can buy at a local liqour store anytime! Of course then he can't understand why after spending $125 on tshirts and bourbon I am hesitant to go get the new pants I need for work! ARGH!!! [/QUOTE]
