[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 602393, member: 6546"] MWM-- I think the problem here is you assumed that Jumper would behave the way the other kids did and would pitch in for expenses without being asked. And you know what they say about assuming....? At any rate - if you need her to contribute a certain $$$ amount toward household expenses - then you need to sit her down and spell it out. If you expect her to save a certain amount toward college - you need to spell it out. And then, whatever money is left should be hers to decide to spend. Vacations, name-brand clothes - whatever. But, in my humble opinion, you cannot sit back and feel hurt and resentful if you were not clear about your needs and expectations. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
