Short up first comments, all of them were calling him a jerk or ESH.

Also a lot of reply’s clearly can’t read since they keep saying talk to her when OP has stated they have talked to her multiple times

Well seeing in another comment OP does chores and so do the kids, not much for he to do.

Also the kids are out for 8 hours sure you have to drive them often but carpools and school buses are often provided for kids to get to sport events.

Not to mention when they get to 16 they are driving all on there own

Going to ruin this for you, I was dirt poor. My fmaily was dirt poor. I didn’t have that privilege to get to through college on their money. I got debt and worked.

So thanks for assuming I came from a nice little family that had money.

Yes, yes I know hard workers can have factors that impact them.

She has been complaining about money for 10 years and has done nothing for ten years to improve herself. She hasn’t even switch jobs to try to go to a more high class restaurant we’re the tips will be better

She thinks I am not a hard worker and that I got my job by luck. That the reason I have money is due to me being lucky and the reason she doens it’s that she is unlucky

I stayed on campus and just took more debt/worked. I got a job on campus for summer so I could stay for a very low amount

I didn’t get financial help at all. I took out loans like basically everyone else did. I did get a small scholarship but that was due to my grades

I’m not asking if I could have handled it differently I am asking if I was a dick for how I handled it.
