[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 703387, member: 6705"] My 2 cents... Pat hasn't spoken to us since around June, and even then it was touchy. So... He is getting $50 - given to sister in law for HER to spend on whatever she thinks he needs. Clothes, food, whatever. I'd give her more, but after her demands last fall, ain't happening (she told us to buy a whole bunch of things for him, some of which we normally would do for school, but when he turned 18 and chose to "support himself", it became his responsibility - she said it would fall on her if we didn't, so we told her to tell him to step up which didn't happen of course). We love him, and Belle has told him as much... But we won't enable him, which sister in law is already doing. Ugh. Fair does not mean equal. I tried to go insane making sure I spent the same amount of money and gave the same number of gifts to each kid for about 3 years till I said enough was enough. [/QUOTE]
