As for him being immature and us letting it go this far... you are absolutely right! This is one of hubby's and my biggest fights. He still has "issues" of guilt for son's learning disability (though I don't know why) and issues of guilt over being a single father who worked 60 hour weeks and missed a lot of their activities. He lets the kids walk all over us and hands money out left and right... meanwhile we've got absoluetely nothing to eat in the pantry. But at least the kids are happy because they got what they wanted... in reality That's not what they NEED.

So here hubby made a HUGE sacrifice to get him to his senior prom. Does our son appreciate it? Not one bit. Does he have ANY understanding of money? Not in the least. We spent well over $200 for the prom and we still haven't bought the flowers. Thank goodness I can do the flowers myself and save about $40. And he tried to convince us he needed a limo... HA!

Yes, he is incredibly immature and needs to grow up - a lot. We sent him out of state last summer in an attempt to teach him some lessons abot hard work and humility.... but he forgot the lessons immediately after he learned them. He starts college on June 13th... it'll be interesting to see how well he does out there by himself without hubby bailing him out and making ME do his papers.

And yes, I'll let you all knw about hs reaction why hubby tells him about the yellow switch tonight.
