[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My kids were not generally like this so it was shocking and very disturbing for me. I basically stopped initiating any conversation with them, but was not argumentative with them. Basically, if you are nice to me, I'll be nice to you.
 My son started a seasonal job, and his attitude changed immediately. It seems he was angry because he didn't want to depend on us for money. Daughter? Upset she had no money, so i directed her to the change jar.

They are young adults.  I have some out of undergrad and working.  Still expect $ help with cars, money/allowance, etc.  One gets bitchy-a girl.  Asks for more...We just take the BS but are taking steps in 2017 to force financial independence.  My take on the big picture?  Will simply offer less to pay for major outlays in the future.

ie many parents help pay for or fund all of major events like weddings.  That goes down.  Nickel and dime me by 20,100, here and there?  There will be an impact-not to be discussed but it will happen.[/quote]
