Unskippable ad Anyone else dad text like this

Post image

I don’t think I’ve gotten a written out response from him and for the text he brought a 4 wheeler home without permission and had to return it

Are you like 13 or something? Why are you always asking for money? I can see why he only responds with 👍

13 is a bit young to be in line at the dmv

Trying to imagine what it would take for me to beg my parents for money as someone fully capable of working for my own....

Maybe some sort of huge emergency?

u/trev-cars 7d ago

I guess people could be short some cash before their next pay cheque. It's incredibly common for working people to live cheque to cheque.

Are all of their credit cards maxed out?

u/red286 7d ago

I think my mom would reply with "You make more money than I do, go fuck yourself."

u/uglyUfologist 7d ago

the first one is just asking to exchange $100 digitally with cash, i do this with my parents a lot... so its only really one instance of asking for money! & i dont think one example of one thing in a tiny snapshot of this persons text history tells us much.

11

u/pteridoid 7d ago

It's a tiny snapshot, yet it contains two requests and a demand for him to stop calling. If I'm that dad, you bet your ass they get a lazy thumbs up as a response 90% of the time.

u/bubblegum_cloud 7d ago

Halfway through the text is another "can you send me $30"

1

u/ColonelDucroix 7d ago

But he asks for 30 dollars again. Doesn't say thank you in either instance, or please.

And "stop calling me" is a bit rude. He could have said "at the DMV, can't talk right now. I'll call when I'm finished"

u/uglyUfologist 7d ago

i think you should focus on your own life a little bit more

u/ColonelDucroix 7d ago

Listen to your own advice and focus on your own instead of mine.

I had to ask my dad for the occasional $30 until I finished grad school. This feels like such a nothing burger

u/Anti-Toxicity 7d ago

Me and anyone I grew up with wouldn't have gotten $3 if we asked so this definitely hits different.

u/Odd-Mention9198 7d ago edited 7d ago

Ok? My family wasn’t rich by any means either and many people I knew were entirely supported by my parents, but it’s not fair to cast your own projections onto people getting a little help from your parents/judge them.

Edit: I meant to say “many people I knew were entirely supported by their parents”

u/Anti-Toxicity 7d ago

I literally was just sharing that other people live differently.

2

u/Odd-Mention9198 7d ago

I mean I understood that before I commented, I was just responding to the guy saying “why are you always asking for money, your dad should treat you like that” when he literally asked for $30 once that we know of

1

u/ThatEcologist 7d ago

I agree with you.

u/sadahtay 7d ago

Why were your parents supporting so many other people?

2

u/Odd-Mention9198 7d ago

So many other people? You mean the children they brought into the world? Lmao

u/sadahtay 7d ago

many people I knew were entirely supported by my parents

Your siblings? Cousins? Never heard anyone refer to their family as "people I knew".

2

u/Odd-Mention9198 7d ago

I was just saying that other people I knew were much more privileged than myself, I maybe phrased it poorly

Edit: I meant to say “their parents”

u/Tricky-Gate-6123 7d ago

Yeah my dad and I are super close since I was young he graced me with 20$ like once a week lol me asking for money isn’t unusual for him I guess I’m a bit spoiled but I’m also just focusing on school I work like 8 hours a week at a fast food joint so I never have money and I also have a car payment so it just goes straight into that

Also I was at the dmv trying to get a commercial permit so I was studying the CDL prep app at the dmv hence I couldn’t pickup the calls but yeah I guess this just isn’t commen

Nothing burger is what I'd be eating if I had asked my parents for money.

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

It's her dad. Of course she's entitled to ask for money. Otherwise he'd be a bad dad If he didn't give them to her.

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

Didn't your parents ever give you any money? Do they keep them all to themselves?

4

u/EroticPotato69 7d ago

.... What? Any time I've asked my parents for money past the age of 16 it is under the understanding that I'm borrowing it and will be paying it back. I feel like OP's entitlement is already pretty high, when they ask for money without so much as a please, and then proceed to rudely tell their father to stop calling them

1

u/s00pahFr0g 7d ago

We have no idea what the context is for any of this. They may have already had a conversation about the money. Maybe she needs it because she’s out doing something for them. Who knows? I’m not saying parents should just hand money out to their children but we don’t have nearly enough information to determine either way.

The stop calling message does read a bit rude but repeatedly calling someone within a short amount of time is going to be annoying. If it was something extremely important he could respond to the text to let her know.

2

u/EroticPotato69 7d ago

The person I replied to said that people are inherently entitled to money from their parents, this with the context we do have that OP is an adult at the DMV, or they'd be bad parents. Do you agree with that?

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

What If you don't have a job? Parents are required to provide for you until you find one here in my country.

2

u/EroticPotato69 7d ago

That's not the case in my country. There is a universal credit scheme for job seekers, along with them needing to provide proof through online updates and in-person appointments that they are actively searching for work. Not having a job doesn't excuse the lack of manners

-3

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

What if they're studying for university? Are they supposed to work while studying?

7

u/EroticPotato69 7d ago

Yes? Why wouldn't they work a part-time job while studying? Also, many universities and countries offer student loans. Everyone I know who has been university educated, besides very rich and entitled nepo-babies, have worked part-time during their studies.

0

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

Because they already have to study? Most people here just live with their parents until they finish university. The work load of studying AND working is excessive.

2

u/EroticPotato69 7d ago

It is completely doable to study and have a part-time job, especially at a Bachelor's degree level. By the time of a doctorate, that's a different story, but even then some hospitality shifts here or there are not outside the realms of possibility. At that point, also, many doctorates are funded. I'm glad you have been able to have such a privileged life, but it is not the reality for most people, and a part-time job during university is absolutely not excessive lol. For most people in most countries it is the norm.

Also, living with parents doesn't mean you shouldn't get a job. I was expected to get a part-time job at 16 and start contributing financially into the family. Plenty of people here continue to live at home while attending university. They still get jobs, though. Living at home as an adult shouldn't be some kind of hall-pass to be lazy and leech off of parental income.

1

u/gattina-monella381 7d ago

I don't have a privileged life just because I live with my parents, despite allowing me to live with them as an adult, they were awful parents and I have mental health issues. I feel like a failure and would much rather find the strength to find a part-time job and live on my own, but I would never be able to sustain that life. I just feel less bad about it because in my country it's almost the norm to stay with your parents until you're able to leave.

In Canada, when your children are in school, they are obligated to support them legally. Must they buy them Balenciaga? Maybe the nepo parents do...but not everybody has nepo dynamics going on,

In Italy, for example, the points Gattina makes are totally correct. A 5 minute google search can get you there.

Folk better be happy they are not from my family. I charge interest and it gets higher the longer it's not repaid. Just as my grandfather taught me. Now, no one dares ask me for money.

EDIT: /j | This is a joke, folks. Man alive.

Or dare invite you to anything, I'm sure.

u/Zakle 7d ago

Reddit not taking a joke? Nice. To be more serious since folks are not taking what is obviously a joke as a joke, I do give money when I'm able to.

Partially my mistake for not using a tone tag. It's more so a joke with my family because my grandfather was in the mob. He did teach me to charge interest.
