[quote=Anonymous]You raised an independent adult: that's great! Honor his independence and adulthood by assuming he is making a good choice for his family. Since you don't see how that could be, you could ask. Try, "I don't know that location very well, DS. Tell me all about it! What drew you there?" Or, "It sure has been a long time since I've been in the market for a house. What do people look for these days?" If you get rebuffed, drop the subject permanently. If things are going well, "I'm sure you'll decorate it so nicely. You know I'd love to give you money for your birthday if you have something in mind." Note I did not say "remodel" or "upgrade," just "decorate." But FYI, paint and carpet are nothing when buying a house: you pay for location and layout, and replacing the carpet is NBD.[/quote]
