[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Gen X-er who made my own decisions about where to go and what to do during Spring Break because I spent my own money. There was no need to ask permission-I was over 18 and while my Mom contributed towards my college tuition (I contributed as well) I had to use my own money for non-essentials. I sometimes would get annoyed that my Mom wouldn't pay for discretionary items, that I had to work shit jobs to help pay for school, etc. but in retrospect she was completely right. I got good grades in part because I didn't want to blow school off and waste my own money, I have a great work ethic and never have expected a man (or anyone) to pay my way. Parents are not doing their kids any favors when they encourage dependency. Hopefully the kid in question will realize that if he wants to make his own decisions he's going to have to do what most adults have to-earn his own money. [/quote]
