When I graduated from High school before going into Monash University, I spent a year traveling overseas , my father made a deal with me ,he sent me an open ticket to come home.
Part of that deal was if I was not home in a year , the money stops, he even made me sign a contract.
When it came to funding he met me half way with the cash, in other words I would send him my wage details and he would match it.
When Jay graduated from Maitland high he decided he wanted to travel around Australia.
I gave him the same terms and he was home in a year.
As a mother I feel for you, try to tighten the purse strings a little at a time until he realizes that the money tree is empty.
Our children are very good at tugging on the heart strings.
