[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents don’t make near what op makes but even right in my 40s if I called them up and said I was having trouble buying basic necessities they would help me. This thread is wild. What does op hate her daughter so much?[/quote]

I do NOT hate my daughter. I think it's pathetic of her to rely on me and DH to buy basics like shampoo for her, and I told her that her poor decision making capabilities (majoring in English at Oberlin when she started college at HYPS and was a STEM major) would lead her to being underemployed. I told her when she was in school that DH and I wouldn't give her a SINGLE CENT after she graduated. We explicitly made it clear that we would NOT help her buy a used car after she graduated and that she was free to buy a car herself with car loans if she wanted a car but couldn't save up for one (which we knew would happen because she has a BA in a useless field).

We told her that she HAD to double major in a practical field because we knew she would end up in a position where she couldn't support herself with a BA in English. But of course, she wouldn't listen.

Oh and BTW PP, I think any adult who needs to rely on the bank of mom and dad to buy things like toiletries is, to put it simply, pathetic. [/quote]
