[quote=Anonymous]Our kid, now 17, was exactly like this. What really helped improve the situation was that my kid really likes to shop, so at around age 13, we started handing over the credit card during shopping and making DC go up to the counter and pay for things. Same thing at the ice cream shop. It didn't fix things but helped tremendously. Unfortunately, this is a learned behavior. My spouse is the nicest person and does this with strangers. If spouse waits in line for 45 minutes and has 3 transactions, spouse will get to front of line and see that there are a lot of people waiting and just conduct 1 transaction to not keep others waiting. Then will have to spend more time to come back and finish. [/quote]
