[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when he announces "I'd like steak for dinner tonight!" DH can say "Oh, we can't afford steak - we're having sandwiches tonight." FIL: I want to go to Ruth's Chris for dinner tomorrow. DH: Dad, we're on a budget and not going to restaurants these days. We might order in a pizza for the family on Saturday night and make a salad to go with it though. FIL: Take me to Whole Foods to get some food. DH: Dad, I can take you, but here's the $50 in cash we can afford to spend there for you. This will really drive home that you're not spending much money on him and he's not controlling who does what. When he rambles on and on about his dating just interrupt when he breaks for a breath and say "Jim that's nice, but before Miles and Jonah go to bed I'd like to hear about their day at school. Jonah, how did your math test go?" [/quote] This is excellent. Stop letting him hold your kids hostage![/quote]
