[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it funny people are trying to attack OP's "adult" children. Why is that?[/quote]

Take the air quotes away honey, because 18 and 20 are adults. When I was 18, I was working and earning my own money and paying for my own entertainment and food. Her adult offspring are no better than the older moochers, yet she seems to think her offspring = great and the other adults in the equation = awful. [/quote]

You sound jealous.[/quote]

Jealous of 400-pound, soda-guzzling losers who hang out with their teen cousins and middle-aged aunt all the time? [/quote]

Jealous you had to earn your own way.[/quote]

What, like an adult?

I didn't have to. I would have been welcome at my parents' house, provided I had at least a part-time job in the summer. But working part-time at The Limited wasn't going to get me a job as a journalist at a major newspaper; my experience and internships in newspapers absolutely did.

See how that works?[/quote]

See how what works? You sound unhappy. Maybe take a vacation honey. Working so hard has hardened you.

I have had a luxurious life. Worst 3 million at 44 and never worked FT in my entire life. I win.[/quote]

So, you were either born into it, or married into it.  If the former - congratulations?  If the later - you do work for it.  If you think really hard, you'll be able to conjure up the name of your profession.  Hint - it's old.  Some would say the world's oldest.  [/quote]

Investing is what it's called. Some people do it better than others. Real estate. Hint: I bought in the mid 90's.[/quote]

Real winners don't brag about "winning" to strangers.  Not op or pp[/quote]
