They don't settle for what they are given.

In Reply to: Ya know, that makes no sense to me - Hmm,
They don't necessarily work harder. Based on your premise, this guy should have worked so hard he died:
Exxon is giving Lee Raymond one of the most generous retirement packages in history, nearly $400 million, including pension, stock options and other perks, such as a $1 million consulting deal, two years of home security, personal security, a car and driver, and use of a corporate jet for professional purposes...
Corporate documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed Raymond's retirement deal and his $51.1 million paycheck in 2005. That's equivalent to $141,000 a day, nearly $6,000 an hour.

Can someone settle this question between my husband and I?
He just got summoned for jury duty in the county we reside in. He was on exempt status for the county he works in because he was working overseas for a year. Within a month of his return stateside, he voted in a local election and now has his summons for the county we reside in. I say it is because he votes in all these local elections. He says it is because he has a driver's license in this state and that is how they summons people. Who is right? We have been really deabting this one! Thanks, everyone! 
A home, so I can settle down and work.

My thoughts are that things will eventually settle down, but --
I agree that when he graduates if he has his own family now then he should be on his own and supporting himself and the family that he is making. I would not support him anymore.
I am sorry that you are having these problems. I had war with my first mother-in-law for 20 years (not my doing) and it makes everyone miserable - I understand. Just give it some time and she will settle down. She is just seeing how far she can take things now and if your son gives in to her, that is the way it will be for life.
I was reading about this yesterday to settle an argument, and Patti is exactly right.
