[quote=Anonymous]Another step-mom here and we're looking at this situation in 2 short years. DH and I make considerably more than DSD's mom so we know we're on the hook for big expenses such as car and college. You can't control what the mom does and how much she gives your DSS, if you do try to control it, it turns into a power trip and creates more tension and stress. I would sit down again with your DSS and re-configure the budget. If he's open and honest about what his mom is giving him, maybe suggest you keep your portion of spending money in a separate account for him that is there if/when he really needs it, or he can have when he graduates college? It sounds like he has a pretty good head on his shoulders and the thought of having a big savings account after graduation may be really enticing. [/quote]
