[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754002, member: 23405"] Acacia I remember back a few years ago (when things were not even as bad as they are now with sons) and my oldest son had been mentioning that he wanted a northern face winter jacket. For his birthday I bought him one. I was so excited to see the look on his face. But much to my surprise he screamed at me relentlessly telling me I should have known better that he needed the cash. I was in such shell shock and thought I was a bad person for not having given him cash. How insensitive could I be?! My point is they have such a way of manipulating us that we often times can’t see which way is up or down. I feel you should pay the rent directly. Besides he says he needs to pay a ticket? What kind of ticket is that which requires potentially a thousand dollars or more? Stick to what you know is right and only pay the rent directly or nothing at all. Much like my sons I don’t hear any voice of humility or gratitude for what you proposed to do. [/QUOTE]
