SS20 laying his ground work...

Spoiled ss20, lives in apt. that he somehow doesn't pay for. Has a new job, dad's so proud. Two hours three nights a week. Yah!!!! What a success he will be one day.

Anyway, he's hinting that his student loan money is taking forever to get to him. Rent is due, again...

We have helped out all of our kids at times. But, the difference is that mine understand what a loan is. You know the catch about paying it back. SS however, hears "we will lend you the rent money" and translates to "because you deserve this gift."

Of course dad's beaming with pride at his working-man son. Pizza delivery six hours a week after a year of looking and a couple years of college? Okay.

Dad thinks he deserves a "break". Mind you the kid has had the job for 84 hours. Jeez, luieez...pass the Jack, Jim and Jonnie are my new best friends this weekend.

Oh hell no! You have a say in this, too. Letting an adult skid move into your home is never a good idea. Can't you DH just fork over rent $ to keep him away?

NOOOOOOO! He's not moving back home. Over my crusted over dead body. He's just wants rent money. Yah, I guess after reading your comment I realized how fortunate I am that he just wants money. It could be so much worse.

True story: I know a guy who is SUCH a loser, his parents fork over $600 a month to keep him out of their house. And these aren't step parents. LOL!
