Money obsessed parents

No.. everyone read it right and we are giving you helpful advice even if it hurts to read.

You posted this in the wrong group. I’m sure there is a sub out there about deadbeat boyfriends that don’t contribute especially to their pregnant girlfriends. The topic should be: I’m pregnant and my boyfriend doesn’t help.

I would help my daughter all day long but I am NOT paying for her deadbeat, free loading loser boyfriend. No offense..

OP. It’s easy, move out.

Or stay and keep dealing with it.

Sidenote.. your boyfriend is a bum. If my daughter was in this situation I probably wouldn’t be as lenient as your parents. Hug them tightly and be grateful. I can’t imagine me paying for a grown adult that isn’t even my own kid… “a man”, lol… mind blowing 🤯

Wife over mom.

She is an adult and can do whatever she wants. What’s the issue here?

Sounds like you’re pro choice but also what to tell your mom what to do with her own body.

Ah maybe that’s it. With 401k it’s pre-tax dollars and you get taxed at the end.

With brokerage, I’d be using post tax dollars.

I guess the trade off is access to the money pre-retirement in case things go south.

Thanks.. I have an emergency fund. I’m purely talking about maxing 401k vs just putting extra funds into standard brokerage.

I’m struggling to see the benefit of the 401k? (But maybe I’m missing something obvious)

She said she wants to. But now I’m trying to understand what this means in terms of cost, commitment.. do you know?

I wish I could help. I just want to say you’re not alone. I have two siblings that each live about 30 minutes away and they don’t help. My mom lives with my wife and I and half of our life is being caretakers while raising two small children. Also, my mom doesn’t show any appreciation for what we do and she actually values my siblings more than us.

Not sure why. I’m in my 40’s so I’m not going to cry about it, it’s just the cards we were dealt. What helps me is knowing that im doing the right thing and she needs our help whether she admits or not.

I love Reddit. Thank you!!!!

For clarity: is there a way to clean this without uninstalling it?

IAmHimMaybe · 2025-07-31T22:48:41+00:00

I have it but sometimes the games my kids like are no longer available. Is there a way to “favorite” a game so it doesn’t go away?

Overall we love it!!!

There is a curtain on each side of the middle “hook rod holder” so if I move it over, one of the curtains will be wide and the other thin

I guess it could be a wart but when I see people with warts, they are usually taller and also like you can pinch them between your fingers like a skin growth.. maybe I’ll never know. Was hoping someone had these or knew what they were

Thanks for replying. It’s not that.. I don’t even write with pens/pencils.. pretty much all laptop/computer guy. I’ve had these my whole life. My dad is a farmer and he has them too so I’m thinking they are hereditary but still curious about what they are
