[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a senior living on about 32K with about 30K in the bank, that's it.  I'm doing fine and don't expect to ever ask my adult kids for money.  If I need money I'll figure something else out.  I have a perfectly nice life too, by the way.

If I were your husband I would not give her money at all, I would help her understand how finances work but that's it.  Tough love.

If I were you I would disengage and expect him to handle it.[/quote]

Well I am already telling my 13 yo DS that yes, he will be expected to help me out when he grows up and gets a job. I think it’s fair. If he ever has a wife she should get used to it. [/quote]

What a horrible mother you are. You know this will cause problems for your kids marriage but it's all about you. [/quote]

Chances are her son will go to one of two extremes and either recognize either recognize how manipulative and narcissistic his mother is and cut ties or become enmeshed in the toxicity, fail to launch and remain financially dependent. Either way hope the pp has a financial backup plan.[/quote]

Looks like you know life really well, especially outside of your bubble![/quote]
