Stop fronting for him! Problem solved.[/quote]

OP here - I like the simplicity of this, and somehow it makes me feel better.

Agreed, no more money matters with these folks.  And yes, I kick myself for fronting the money, well knowing that I was putting myself in a bad spot.

When they were here, I did ask for the $160, and he  didn't refused to respond or do anything, just turned away (this is his usual mode of "dealing" with things he doesn't want to deal with).  I didn't want to get into a fight in front of the grandkids while they were here.  After they left I called and let him have it and called him cheap, and he offered to send a check, and I refused to accept it.

If you don't accept the check you are officially being petty and passive aggressive. Accept the check, move on.[/quote]

This.  You can't really be mad at this point anymore (well except at yourself).  Honestly it sounds like the issues are half yours and half his.  Therapy might help you to deal with the entitlement/pettiness issues.  [/quote]
