[quote=Anonymous]I have a sophomore in college who's 20. He's gotten in some legal trouble that can be wiped away for about $1000-$1500. DH wants to "write him off" and let him face all consequences on his own. I want to "save" him to keep his future options intact. I won't just give him the $, but rather draw up a contract which he'll have to agree to repay me by working for me this summer. Regardless, though, I'd be bailing him out again. If this was someone else's child, I'd have less compassion, but since he's mine, my eyes are clouded. On the other hand, I know moms tend to be more tenderhearted and fathers less apt to be pushed-over. So, at what age do you just give tough love and say no? Would you let your child have something on his permanent record that could affect his future if you could prevent it? (His crime hurt no one but himself, fortunately, if that matters.) [/quote]
