[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again:  Especially because we don't want to "cut off" #2 - we love the time we spend together.  We just feel that we can't completely substain their lifestyle.

The condos in DC are in the same building.  Our own children grew up down the street from their paternal grandparents and it was wonderful.[/quote]

You MUST cut off #2! You don't have to stop spending time with him, but stop financially supporting him. Go watch the movie Failure to Launch twice, and then come back to this thread. Do you notice EVERYONE is basically telling you the same thing? NOBODY is encouraging you to keep supporting #2!

You can spend time with #2 and his family. You can even have them over for dinner once a week. But do not pay ANY bills they regularly incur and do not pay their housing costs. You want to buy the grandkids cute Christmas pajamas? Go for it! You want to take them to see the Nutcracker? Have fun! You want to pay for a once-a-year vacation for both sons and their families? Fine. But that's IT. [/quote]
