myusername~ “if you’re going out tonight, there’s cash in my pocketbook – take all you need”?
I respectfully, strongly disagree with this piece of advice, for (hopefully) obvious reasons. it’s one thing to make sure the child has a metro card, a cell, & a bit of money.. but I strongly advise against ‘take all you need’.. that could really be enabling bad behavior/action. you can’t be too hefker, altho’ I do agree with the unusual, irregular actions a parent has to go along with so as not to lose the connection w/ their child. …jmho
