[quote=Anonymous]Must have thick skin to post on DCUM, OP. And PPs didn't even start on you! I take exception to the fact that you are criticizing your mother for being frugal, and giving an example that is not indicative of any pathology. Would you rather have the opposite??? I suspect that in your comparative wealth you cannot fathom how an individual could count pennies. Well, I do. After surviving 18 months of unemployment and paying for therapies for my SN child and retirement, I have nothing left at the end of each month. No eating out. Absolutely no impulse spending. Every purchase is researched and budgeted. My children know that food and mortgage comes before toys in the budget. I am not surprised that your mother would carry over such practices into a period of her life when she may be more financially secure. You should adapt to her, not the other way around. And teach your children how to budget. [/quote]
