Eric has a job as a waiter, and he spends about a quarter of his paycheck buying new music. He keeps his music spending activities secretive from his mother. What advice might we give to Eric's mother?
a. Eric will most likely develop into a trusting adult, but he is at risk for serious problems. If he is secretive about his finances, he is most likely secretive about behaviors that affect his well-being.
b. Eric is not demonstrating honesty and his mother should intervene and ask to see paychecks and music expenditures.
c. Eric is actually sending a message to his mother that there is a lack of trust in their relationship. Eric's mother should focus on how to rebuild the trust and encourage Eric to share more about his spending habits.
d. Be concerned about Eric's disclosure of information related to activities that affect his and others' safety and health, but accept Eric's need for privacy about his spending of discretionary money he earned.
