[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such ungrateful people.  All thriving at college on their parents dime.

It’s hard to get along with people with difficult personality traits, but you should respect your parents contributions to your life.  Raising kids is quite difficult and all of us are flawed.

Hopefully your children will be more accepting of your flaws than you are of your parents.[/quote]

PP that thrived in college. My parents said they’d pay for college, but unbeknownst to me, didn’t actually have money for it. So they had me take out a ton of loans under my name, that they swore they’d pay off. Well I graduated and they claimed to be paying them off like they promised, except they defaulted on them and of course the creditors called me because they were under my name and totally F’d up my credit for awhile. And then when I asked why they weren’t paying, they screamed at me that I was ungrateful. I ended up paying the vast majority.

All while they had nice cars, nice house, took vacations, completely supported a sibling that had also graduated… I could go on.

But yeah sure… totally ungrateful. [/quote]

My parents did the exact same thing to me. Awful. [/quote]
