If we were not in a position to do so, then that would be different - I thought parenthood was for life, not just until they reach adulthood!
Yes, it is a difficult one isn't, just when do you stop helping them out?
It is good that your son has learnt from his mistake. My brother never did. Our mother used to bail him out time and time again, so he knew he could always turn to her.
She is no longer around anymore and unfortunately he is no good with money and I don't think ever will be.0
