[quote=Anonymous]My mom (my son's Grandmother) has been sending money to my college-aged son every month or two. Not just Christmas/birthday money, but almost monthly. According to DS, it is around $100/month or so, but that is beside the point. She can definitely afford this, so I am not afraid of her spending too much money, but I just don't think it is appropriate and I have told her such on multiple occasions. DS has a part time job through his school, and a full ride through scholarships/parents/my mom helping out so it is not like he has not spending money or is broke. My mom says its because my son is her youngest grandchild and only one still in college and she wants to spoil him, which I think is a ridicules justification for sending him money. I have suggested that she save it up and possibly give it as a graduation present, or put it into an account to be used towards something specific (my example was to use it for a study abroad opportunity, etc).

My question is if there is any way you guys would suggest I handle this, and if I am overreacting? [/quote]
