[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, If you're trying to instill independence in your kid within a summer at age 17 or 18, yes you are wrong. The understanding of where money comes from and how it is spent should have been a lesson taught a long time ago. So pulling the plug suddenly is making up for your past parenting mistakes. Make sure your kid has the basics--shelter, food, clothing. Help him develop a plan for the rest.[/quote] NP. Please we're talking about a teen boy here. My DS was taught those things (or, should I say, he went through the motions of working , saving, etc) from the age of 3. And he still sounds a lot like OP's son as a college freshman. He's early 20's and still thinks $ should fall from the sky to bankroll his social life. There's something about males that won't let the mature quickly enough.[/quote]
