well we all live throught it all

so i did not run out of food . did forget to take pictures ok how bad is that . we had a good turn out with the weather , everyone stayed dry but it was cold i would say like 75 people or so so a little less then normal it would be if it was sunny and warm . so i have food still for like 50 more people lol
non one fought that good . many police office came by and gave him money which i would think just stop eat wish him best wishes would of been enough horror i think so it was really nice . neighbors people think why all these cops at Roger's house lol . for you dont know my son is an explorer and works with our local police dept here for the last two years and is going into officer program in the fall . (not sure how we got a kid that wants to be a cop ) but i am proud ! i was not a great teen and was far from the law .. i am sure may e we did something right as a parent some where .
so now he has this money , what to do ? of course he want to take like 300 bucks and use it for a toy but i say that pays for books , uniforms for school food ect . this is hard something i been thinking about how to teach my kids about money . (this should be another post maybe later )
so how do you teach your children money responsibility ? he will need to manage his money for school , food , gas , and spending (he wants to spend i believe ?) he usually not like this but he think it his money it is but it also got a load of bills for college so how do i help him ? we are helping him pay for school my goal would be he get through two years with out loans but i am not sure i am worried that means like 500 a month or more for us extra which is manageable i guess but i want him responsible also fore this . i talk more another night about money management another post , when kids where little they have saving , spending and long term or charity. but now saving is more and spending more .
what to do i think he mad which makes me pissed that he can not take like 400 and blow it , i feel guilty why do we do that , i gave him a party , lap top , paying for school , he has the latest or sort of games ect he one of these kids and always been it never enough how do we teach him this , oh yah i am giving him my car . by the way he does not have a job .you see this is a sore spot for me . it not that he has not tyred to get a job but i feel he should keep trying , just if you fill out one job app does not make it you looking for work . Then i do this flip and he going to school this summer three morning , drives sisters around , does what we ask so it hard . one side side say maybe i should pay him to help with his sister but then again that kind of payment for the car , other side say he should have a job saving for college . parent tug away
