[QUOTE="klmno, post: 224917, member: 3699"] I think you did the right thing- I've had talks with difficult child about stuff like that too. If it had been a quarter, I might not have worried so much but there is a difference when it's that much money and kids that age and there's a difference when it is taking advantage of someone, I agree. I have to admit though- I was a little scared to read this post when I saw the title. A couple of years ago I was giving difficult child another talk about telling someone if anyone, whether it be a family member or a stranger, did anything that made him uncomfortable or that he knew was wrong, etc (you know the talk, I'm sure). Anyway, the only time he ever said that to me was a day on vacation when I took him to live horse racing and showed him the horses, the race form, and placed a big $1 bet. (Yes, I am a BIG risk taker.) He told me I was making him uncomfortable because I am his mother and I was teaching him how to gamble and he thought that was very inappropriate! LOL! I have corrupted my own son. :dont_know: :2dissapointed: :crying: I will go hide in shame now that I have admitted this to everyone. :blusher: :tears: :bag: [/QUOTE]
