[quote=Anonymous]Bailing out our adult kids. We taught them fiscal responsibility unfortunately they married spenders and didn't put that foot down. Even after straightening them out several times they still managed to fall into heavy debt.

After realizing we are $100,000 less in our pockets because our children can't, excuse me, won't practice what we have preached, we decided to cut them off. We deserve a life too. My husband and I never relied on anyone for help. If we didn't have the money we saved for whatever. Basics were never a problem but extras were. Our kids were well aware growing up how the household ran. Seems like no one even tries to sacrifice anymore. It's gimme I want.

It still amazes us how they grew up to be such non planners and ignorant about finances. College graduates with no common sense. Or maybe they just don't care. Still pondering their neglectful ways. Can't figure it out.

Speak of the devil, one kid is on the phone right now asking Dad if he can swing a warehouse shopping trip later today. They are low on stuff and money. We never say no to food or things the house needs but damn, launch already okay ?  The joys of parenthood. And grandparenthood. And whatever else. [/quote]
