The boys have accumulated a fair number of savings bonds from grandparents over the years which my DH, the saver, has stashed away in our fireproof box
DS1-now 21-never asked about them and when DH brought it up once, DS1 shrugged and said they were fine where they were
DS2 -who is both my challenging child and the one who can't hold on to a dollar for anything-announced at dinner the other day that he had not forgotten about savings bonds and he had full right to them now at 18
WE didnt say a whole lot until we spoke in private later. What to do?
He hasn't brought it up a second time but if he forces the issue?
WE could insist they be used for college. We could insist he use them to pay off what he owes us on the car(he is wayyyyy behind and taking it away means no job-a choice Im not willing to make)
We would prefer to hold on to them until he leaves college and is out on his own but yeah, he IS 18!
