[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 94217, member: 97"] I was raised like you GG and married at 18 and was scared, hungry and pinched for funds most of the time. when my sons were small I never lavished things on them but wanted them to feel the pride of earning their way. I did give them whatever they wanted for Christmas and birthdays. today my son Nick is totally independent. I never give him anything because he doesnt need it. he did ask me to co-sign a car loan and I did. I knew it would not be a problem. If he asks, it is his for the asking. I know he would never abuse the privilege. truly he spends more on me for most occasions and I tell him it is too much. with Tony I give what he NEEDS not what he wants. of course I want him to have housing and food. I will give a leg up for that. I babysit Kaleb a lot because I love him and want him in my world. it is no burden. I want grandkids and want to be a part of their lives, same for Nick's if he ever has them. I love children. [/QUOTE]
