I'd say she doesn't want or need financial help from you if she's still spending money foolishly.

I'd be willing to help someone out of a financial jam if the money will be spent wisely and they demonstrate a lesson has been learned, but if they want the "help" so that they can continue to spend money like fools, and that they'll be no better off when that money's gone, there's no way I'd give them anything other than advice.

I have some in-laws that constantly hit up my wife for money, and we had to draw the line...

Maybe if she wasn't so damn cute......

I would do anything for my kids but careless spending is not supported in anyway shape or form.

[grandsport]

I'll let the wife and her work that out.I think she was more upset at the fact that she wasn't invited.

We taught our 3 kids responsibility at an early age. When they were old enough, they got jobs so that they didn't have to be coming to Mom and Dad for spending money. They knew it wasn't going to be there. They learned pretty quickly how fast a week's pay can disappear. Better to learn it at 14 as 35. Making life easy and bailing kids out backfires just about every time. I've seen it far to often. That's not to say that we never help our kids. We help when we feel it is appropriate and it has worked well for us.
