[quote=Anonymous]OP I've been in your shoes financially. To me personally the issues come from how you've worded things. You're "fit to be tied." Really. I understand the need to control the finances, but I'm not sure what you are actually teaching your kids. I have no solution for you, besides explaining to them honestly that they don't have ice cream because you don't have the money to buy it. Having a fit because they aren't getting your "lesson" is pretty harsh. To the vast majority of people, an ice cream isn't a big deal. If you can't afford the ice cream then you can't. Writing a letter to the mom though? Over the top. You lost me with that, regardless of your financial situation or what you say you are trying to teach your kids.[/quote]
