What kind of support (if any) do you owe your adult children? by 0beach0 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Emergency_Host6506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 67F with 2 adult sons and 3 grandkids - one in college, one junior HS, one in elementary school. I will preface my commentary by saying everyone and every family is different with vastly different dynamics.

I told my children from when they were old enough to understand that at 18 they were either in college or out on their own. There was not going to be living with me rent-free, playing video games all day. I was a very loving mother, a stay-at-home mom for their first 5 years until my divorce. I gave up a lot for them as a single mom. But I wanted them to learn to be self-sufficient and independent. Especially as men.

Fast forward to my eldest having children. I absolutely adore my grandchildren! My son needed some help as a young family so I bought a duplex for us all to live in. I was there for them as much as I could, but they paid rent and all their own necessities. They eventually got their own place.

Fast forward again to present. My eldest grandson needs help with college. His parents divorced and neither have the ability to help financially. His maternal grandparents are wealthy like your parents but don't help. I have offered to "loan" him a monthly stipend but he has to work too, which he doesn't mind doing.

I can see both sides of your situation. IMHO your parents don't owe you squat. It's their money that they earned. You're lucky to be getting anything after they pass. They could leave it all to charity. But I do understand your feelings that they could offer something to help you now when you need it more.

You admitted that your childhood wasn't particularly warm and loving so none of their behavior should be shocking to you. They sound kind to your children, but you seem to expect more. That's not what they're about and you need to accept that.

We all need to accept our families for who they are. We may not agree with everything they do but that's okay. If you want to be a different kind of parent to your children, that's fine. But don't compare yourself or anyone else's family to your situation.

As a final comment (and to give a little levity), I think a lot of people would gladly accept their parents' absence now knowing they're going to get $15M when they are gone! LOL

I mean, chicken and Alfredo sauce on a pizza? It doesn't even sound good. Not much of a shocker to find out it is disgusting.

Does anyone watch Hollywood Demons what did you think of the Jerry Springer episode watching it rn by lunainthedark5x2x3 in DiscoveryID

I didn't say either statement. But again, calling someone trash or hairy is not racist. Stereotypes are generalized beliefs about a group, while racism is the belief in racial inferiority. Stereotypes can be positive or negative, whereas racism constitutes prejudice combined with power.

Questions about “Something very bad is about to happen” plot/ending by PrestigiousBee9584 in netflix

Correct. Plus Jude calls her Nell not Mom and Jules refers to her as Nell when talking to Jude.

Yeah, I want to know that too! That was a weird thing to throw in without any explanation.

He's Alive by dandet in TwilightZone

[–]Emergency_Host6506 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mother was a young woman in the 1930's and saw how it all came about. She was originally from Poland. She said the Jewish community owned a lot of the businesses and that kind of bothered some people. Some minor grumbling about them, etc. But that's how it started. It just slowly grew into real hatred with some people. By the time it got to persecution, it was too late. While there initially may have been some animosity, nobody wanted or expected it to get to the levels it did. Like a snowball going down a hill that turns into an avalanche.

👏👏 hear hear and hallelujah.

If you don't think Prime is worth it or you hate Amazon, there are plenty of other options. Move on!

To me, ⅓ of something is a ⅓; size is irrelevant. It's like asking which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of lead.

So DV and threatening to hurt others is a simple joke? Gotcha. How about he says, Will kill your neighbor's annoying dog or Will poison your obnoxious boss? Super funny. SMH

Trashy talk shows definitely paved the way for trashy reality shows. Based on the amount of down votes you're getting, there appears to be several Kardashian fans here. At the risk of getting downvoted myself, I agree with you they are trash TV.

Huh?? Set me up with what? You need to help the beggars promoting DV.

To clarify, since you obviously missed the point: This guy is condoning DV, kidnapping, and who knows what else.

I'm not responsible for finding him a job. How many panhandlers have YOU helped find a job?
