When they’d go to the grocery store with me, the bill was always higher because they didn’t look at the prices, just threw things in the cart. When they pay now? Suddenly cheese is too expensive.

Older son was so much like this. He thought I was crazy for ordering something on Amazon for much cheaper rather than just “getting it now” at Best Buy for 5 times the amount.
BUT…now that he’s paying for (mostly) all of his bills, when I showed him some bath towels to buy for this apartment, his eyes got big at the total price (and they were a bargain!). He then asked me if I would buy new towels and he’d take my old ones. ha!
He has to buy a new car and will no longer be on our insurance, so he’s not too happy about that. We still pay for his cell phones (yes, plural), because he has two phones, a watch, and an iPad…all on data. When I tell him he’ll need to start paying for those, he acts like he’s being disowned.
