I have a question for the mighty Oz:

How far/how much financial damage do you allow them to experience before you intervene?

W is out of town and some financial stuff is going down that I could stop (she is unaware). If I don't take action the kids will be hurt too.

That's the kind of "double bind" I have found myself in every time natural consequences occur from which many would say (and have) I should not rescue her from.
