She's doing my head in.
Tried to keep it civilised for sake of my lad. He'll be finished secondary next year when all the madness can stop.
Latest is he's brought a letter home from college about a ski trip. Great value and a great opportunity for him. She's kicked off saying he should pay for it himself.
Her logic is:
She gives him £120 a month and from that he has to buy his own clothes, haircuts, nights out and teenager stuff. She reckons he can pay for his own ski trip.
I've asked her what happens to the rest of the money I give her every month (£500). She says that's what she's needs to look after him.
Is she taking the piss or am I out of touch with how much it costs to feed a 17 year old?
