[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firs, OP, tell your kid to put the arm on his . . . what's that word . . . oh, yeah, *father*.  His actual father.

Second, OP, you seem to think that because your kid "worked on a campaign" this summer this excuses him the responsibility of earning money.  If you'd discussed this with your husband, and he reneged, I'd probably agree.  But since you didn't mention it, I expect it's not the case.  Your son made a choice; he volunteered instead of providing for himself.  If he expected you and your husband to make up the difference without discussing it first, I can see why your husband is pissed.  [/quote]

OP has shared the boy:

worked part-time in summer + part-time campaign volunteer in summer + has paid summer internship lined up + attends prestigious college

That's a solid kid. You're bending over backwards to spin; troll or just thick?[/quote]

She has *not* shared a great deal of other information, including whether sending money was discussed previously, whether the kid was a spendthrift, how much he started with, just to name a few points.  No one can say whether the husband is unreasonable or not without that information, to start with.  You, though, appear to have decided that based on four data points (several of which are ambiguous) that he deserves a supplement, no matter what.  Which makes you either biased, and/or a dolt.  I'm guessing both.  [/quote]
