[quote=Anonymous]APs can definitely get entitled as many of us learn as we go. We initially started with bring our AP to the store with her list but soon found that she did not stick to the list. We therefore changed things up and started going without her but asking her for her list. That was much better but once my husband asked her to buy something she needed and give us her receipt then all of a sudden she starts buying things and leaving the recipe on the counter. I quickly stopped that. And for gas we used to just let her use the cars but it got to a point were we always got it back empty so we made it clear that if she goes long distance she needs to put gas in. She was caught by surprise and said that her AP friends get gas cards and don’t have to pay for even to travel long distance. I told her that we are not wealthy and can’t afford the extra cost. After that she drives less and drives with her AP friends with wealthy HF who give them gas cards. I do admire those families who have manuals but the is the first time we are doing it so it’s a learning experience.[/quote]
