[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634854, member: 1550"] I just got sick of being lied to. Why would your son need YOUR internet at work? It doesn't make sense. I have no trouble saying no to my son anymore. And he doesn't even bother to ask because he knows I won't even listen to him. My son is 36. Trust me, there comes a time when you throw up your hands and just admit to yourself that you can't help. And that's when you start feeling peaceful. My son is not allowed to call me to ask for favors. I set a boundary a while back. If he asks for anything, I hang up. I will gladly chat with him as long as he is nice, and not asking for something. But if he isn't nice or asks for something, I hang up. They are not little kids anymore. They are grown adults. It helps me if I picture my son as he looks today. [/QUOTE]
