If I hear this one more time, I think my head might explode!

Now, I know my situation is better than most, as BM works. Between BM and DH, BM makes more than DH, due to the fields that they are in. BM is horrible with money, always has been, and it was part of the reason for their divorce. However, they have a CO that says they are to split bills.

What are your boundaries with BM? Why do you have them? Are they effectively used? We are havingsome major issues and could use some help in making clear lines that aren't to be crossed!

I was reading up on an issue that DH and I are continuing to experience. Life is full of responsibilities. As kids, people try and teach their kids to deal with responsibilities (at least, those parents who truly parent.) As kids, when you mess up, your parents should be there to redirect you and encourage you (positive reinforcement) and motivate you (consequences) when needed.
