[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 573999, member: 1550"] Janet...I am going to tell you what people told me about Mr. 35-But-Still-A-Baby. My 35 year old has some serious mental disorders, but he is capable of working and, like Jamie, Mr. 35 likes to live above his means so he is always playing catchup. He doesn't live with his parents, but that in a way only makes it worse because he has higher bills for the house he can't afford. Like I was told, you do NOT owe Jamie a darn thing anymore. You are his mother, not his mommy (thank you to whomever thought that one up. I love it!). If he wants all these perks, he should move out to somewhere cheap and affordable and see if HE can pay for these perks. $230 a month is in my opinion way too cheap unless he helps fix t hings, mows the lawn, contributes to your utilities and food bills and pitches in his money voluntarily when things are tight. Sorry, but I'm in the mood where I'm not too happy with grown kids who act like toddlers. I want, I want, I want. Well, Janet, you and I want a million dollars...lol...we aren't going to get it. Our grown kids who never grew up need to learn they can't have everything just because "I want." I sent my son a letter. Time to send one to Jamie, even if he lives with you? I think sometimes letters are easier because nobody gets tongue-tired or angry and you get to put it all down :) As for budgeting, Tom does budget, but he never makes any allowances for unexpected expenses so almost every pay period is a clever trick to pay all our bills plus buy food :/ MEN!!!!!!! Yikes! Let's see how we both survive this :) [/QUOTE]
