If your relationship with your child is based on whether or not you're giving them money, the relationship is already irreparably damaged. Since when do we advocate buying your child's affection?
I mean maybe that's the approach when you're not strong enough to actually PARENT and you're scared of your kids. The rest of us realize your kids will need you before you need them.
Actually no...I was talking about common courtesy.
There was no mention of the adult child being any kind of brat when I made my post. That came after.
It is very difficult for anyone to get cut off from a needed source of income without warning. Why would any parent whose child was not a brat cut them off from needed support while in college without warning? Heck even employers give employees severance when they are financially able to do so because they recognize that. Heck even parents who are fed up with adult children who won't get a job generally give them 30 days warning to either get a job or get out.
Its not about buying affection. Its about seriously messing up someone's education with zero warning...in the middle of a freaking semester. Now, maybe this particular person...since allegedly she is a brat might deserve that. However, had she not been a brat it would be a pretty cruel thing to do, and even adult children are dismayed by cruelty from their parents.
