It hurt my gray cells quite a lot as well. Currently Sub-Evil’s not a major money freak, and threats of limits on TV or computer time are far more effective :-).

Happily he and I still get quite a lot of face time and haven’t been reduced to PayJr. He’s obviously growing up and becoming more independent; he’s now doing a solo radio show (Sunday, 10-noon) this summer instead of joining us for our summer show (Sunday, 6-9pm). He’s still not completely fed up with his boring old parents yet, and actually had lunch with me the other day when he could have eaten with his friends.

Well, thats… uh, interesting. It somehow hurts my mind to think about PayJr too much.

When I was growing up my Dad made clear that if other methods didn’t work, economic sanctions did. There are very few things so humbling as having to approach a parent and ask for money. Makes you really think about if you want that item or not and why.

Hope you and Sub-Evil get some face time.
