Just fed up to here with the both of them... ([}:)]) Tracklayer Question..Why should you worry about their affairs? I sense this is your brother perhaps? If so leave it between Mother and Brother let them take care of the problem if there is any.You see butting in could only make things worst in the family and do you really want that?? If he is just a friend so? Why is it any of your concern after all he's not a drunkard or dug abuser which is far worst. I don't mean to be cruel or harsh I just don't understand your reasoning for becoming concern in their affairs.

QUOTE: Originally posted by dgwinup . So how about directing some of Robert's energy into building a layout. Just think, Mom will pretty much turn over the whole house to him, you can 'help' him build a huge layout (exactly the way YOU want!) and money will be no object. Not too many of us get an opportunity like that. Just don't try to teach him how to do 110v wiring (at least until the layout is nearly done [:-,][}:)]). Darrell, electrically quiet...for now

QUOTE: Originally posted by dgwinup Well, if somebody else is paying his bills for him, they are enabling him in his addiction. Talk to the mom. If she is supporting him at home, paying his bills, etc., she needs to stop doing that. Mom needs to get tough about it. It shouldn't take Robert long to find out that HE is responsible for his own expenses, including model railroading. If mom always bails him out financially, what reason does he have to change? Hope Robert can learn. Darrell

I use to spend anywhere between $2.00-100.00 a week now it s about $200.00 a month and as far as I am concern its nobodies business but my very own..
QUOTE: Originally posted by dthurman Doesn't this belong on the addiction topic? Kidding... You're probably right. I didn't really think about it until you said something. I spent a healthy amount of money getting back in, but I am not living at home. Now a days it doesn't take much to accumulate a lot of money on RR stuff. Is he doing anything with his purchases? Maybe he is stocking up now while he has the money to spend???
