[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not EVER give them money "for the grandchildren." If you want the grandkids to take ice skating lessons, pay the ice skating place DIRECTLY. They sound capable, but just lazy and like they're counting on you to support them.

Stop buying condos for your son. [/quote]

#1.  I have a brother like your son.  My late mother supported him her entire life through two failed marriages and 4 children.  She purchased every home he lived and bought every car he drove (Lexus, Mercedes, Acura, Chrysler 300).  He was lazy with an entitlement activity.  When one of his children graduated from college that my mother paid for, my mother gave my brother money for him to give to his daughter for graduation and my brother kept the money for himself.  She tolerated all his trifling, unacceptable behavior.  The ultimate was when I learned my mother was paying my brother's child support.  OP, I hope you will leave your grandchildren something but not your trifling son and daughter-in-law.[/quote]
