[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have written this post myself. Exact same situation with myself and my sister who were pushed to excel academically and be successful. My dad married my step-mom when I was 14 and they had a daughter who has always been spoiled with zero push to do anything. She is now 26 and dropped out of college and has never had a job. She still lives at home and is bankrolled by my father who doesn’t seem to care whether or not she has a job of any kind or is even a functional human being. It’s baffling.[/quote]

We should form a club. My dad's adult son with his third wife is a perpetual student who can't hold a job. He runs around like an idiot and is bankrolled by my father. When I asked why he was fired from his most recent job, my father explained that "he had a female boss who was jealous of his success". His success at...what? Collecting graduate degrees? Not paying bills? Breathing?

This is the same dad who told my sister and I that we should always depend on ourselves. Sis is a full professor, I'm in Biglaw. We don't get it. If it was just about coddling the wives, I could buy it. But the obvious parroting of his various wives' enabling of their failure-to-launch kids is just deeply disappointing. [/quote]
As annoying as that is, I hope you’re grateful that you were raised by the better parent, earlier version of your dad. [/quote]
