[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 623564, member: 1514"] I dont give money at all and for the most part I wont provide food. That is a bit harder because of the grandchild living with him but he does have enough money every month to buy food and her mother can also help provide food. I was astounded when I learned that just last month he went down to get her on WIC again. She is only 2 but her mother just stopped keeping the appts that would have kept the WIC going. What idiots! Now I have a harder time saying no to cigarettes...or I did until he pulled this whole thing with stealing my car. I smoke too and cant imagine not being able to get them. No one would want to be around me without my smokes...lol. So yeah, I have bought him packs here and there. However since your son is not close to you I would not send him money. I would call around see if you can find some store that would allow you to buy the things over the phone. The place I get mine lets me put them on a tab and I pay them off weekly. Now I would never allow my son access to my tab because he would just buy anything in the store and never pay for it. However I do know that if I wanted to get him a carton, I could pay for it and have them give it to him when he went in the next time. [/QUOTE]
