Discuss Colo Bob's answer to: Whose money is it?

My Grandson is raising hell at home because he feels that his mother is spending his money that his father gives his mother for childcare. What can I advise my daughter to tell him?

Colo Bob Answered:

Vardon, It sounds as if your grandson is acting out. First of all it isn't his money, it's his mother's money to take care of him. (Food, a roof over his head, clothing, medical care, transportation, school etc.) I'm sure there isn't enough money given to her to pay for all his expenses so she has to supplement those funds with more of hers. Secondly she needs to get control of him! Raising hell seems to indicate he is somewhat out of control. Since he may be, maybe she can remind him she will have to spend some more of her money to take him to a doctor.
