Money help: My son is 30 with 5 daughters. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

My son is 30 with 5 daughters.

I have paid his bills for the last 2 months (over $3,000.00). I get no help from him. I’m guessing there is no money for Christmas.
He should start work Jan 4, 2008.
How do I get him on the right track.

Yes it’s time for him to go it alone. The only way he’ll learn is if he has to fend for himself. However if his kids are suffering then make sure they get what is needed.

It is indeed a fine line to have to walk. And no one here knows all the details to make such rush decisions. Are you rich? Is your son disabled in any way? Is your son taking advantage of your generosity? Is your son mentally able to keep a job? Where is the mother of the 5 children? I can’t, being a parent myself, tell you to simply cut him off, but you two have to work together if possible. Help him to help himself, so not just continue to give to him to your own ruin. If the $3000 is hurting you, and you cannot continue down that path then stop… or at least work with him… NOT for him.
