DH will never act on the writing on the wall
DH has been really overcompensating lately when it comes to SD20 because he feels bad she lost her job. She was fired for poor behavior, I don't blame them, she is a hot mess.
So he's been paying MORE than his share of her college expenses plus handing over hundreds of dollars to her every month because he feels sorry for her.
SD20 turns right around and uses that money to buy drugs and alcohol. He said previously he told her if he caught her drinking while underage, he would stop paying for her college.
So, she posts publicly pictures of her drinking at a bar, as well as posting about her marijuana use. I wouldn't have said anything BUT he texted me thinking he was texting her, asking if she needed money. He has given her $700 that I know of in the past two weeks!
So I confronted him, and I spilled it all. Showed him a picture of her drinking at a bar with a wristband, which means she has a fake ID. Told him I know she is still smoking marijuana.
He says the last money he gave her she used to buy things she needed at Walmart. I told him he should give her a Walmart gift card then, but NO MORE CASH.
He won't listen to me of course. He didn't call her, text her, nothing. He is the most hands off parent I've ever met when it comes to SD20, and also the most enabling. I guess he WANTS her to turn out to be an alcoholic drug addict who can't hold a job.

$500 was for college expenses
$500 was for college expenses he previously told her he was NOT paying for. So $200 in cash directly to her, some small portion of which she used to buy things at Walmart, and he can use that to justify feeding her cash continuously. He'd given her $200 in two weeks and was texting her a third time asking if she needed money!? Just pathetic.
Vickmeister, over the years
Vickmeister, over the years first he (until SD was 8 years old) and then we (from ages 8 to 18) saved up money for her college. So, there is money there, it doesn't come from our household account. It just irks the tar out of me that he is rewarding her bad behavior. He would NOT do that with our two BDs because I would never allow it, but since I don't have a say when it comes to SD20...
