Can't blame him really can you, whacking great car loan when you cant afford and are thus always skint. And as for the table thing, jeez, it takes 30 seconds to lay the table. He provides you with somewhere to live its the least you can do for him!

When I cant afford.. what you on fox?

Some varying views, thanks folks.
 
My parents do this sometimes, They know I don't like something, then they are all like " why wont you eat it, I spent ages making it" I have lived on my own and I have had to cook for myself so I do appreciate it when they make food but they have know me for 22 years, they should know what I like and what I don't!


the thing is I know my dad wants me out because he is depressed **** and blames me for everything wrong in the house, yet me and my bro get on fine, me and my mum get on fine, it is just him. Meh savig for a deposit so should be out soon and when he his still unhappy he will relise it isn't me :)

I just read your threads and know nothing more about you than what you tell us. You've just told us that your Dad is fed up that you are always skint.

So...

My parents dont pay ANYTHING toward my car or anything else I buy, its all done out of my own graft. End of.

They're skint because my mum hasnt been to work so they only have my dads income. Plus the cash i give them on payday.

Another classic example of you making assumptions.

I think he's generally ****** off about being skint, my mother is having a few issues.. and not been working past few months.. shes going back to work this month, but they've both been constantly at their throats.

in that case, helping a bit costs nothing and if it makes your mum feel better then its worth it. :)
 
It's incredible to watch pretty much 90% of you bicker and whine to the OP about things he never even said/did and your assumptions are beyond belief.

I have similar situation... with someone being a little unfair.
A situation where you act totally neutral but the other is an aggressor.


For example, i'm the only person in my family who works yet i'm expected to come home on time for dinner and I get hell for it. But i'm at work catching up with things!
That or do the shopping earlier (whilst i'm at work) ??

How's that even possible?
It's like some schrodingers cat crazy stuff going on in my life!
 
My dad often buys me random things like that, and he often forgets what i ask for. His intentions are good though and i can see that so i let him know i appreciate what he's tried to do and decline.

I don't live at home any more and i still emptied and loaded the dishwasher for them when i went round to visit the other night, i didn't use any of the pots but it only takes 2 minutes or so and its one less thing for them to have to do after a days work.
 
OP you are within your rights to be honest, hes asked you if you want something bringing in, you told him what you wanted, he brought in something else which you dont like and you wont eat it. My parents are a bit like this, i dont ask for something and they get moody if i dont want it saying im ungrateful, etc etc. But if they hadnt already given me the impression they were sorting something out i could do it myself.

Go shopping to be honest mate, so theres stuff in the house. surely if you can afford a laptop you can do a quick nip round the supermarket for £50 or something. then if they bring something else in you dont want you'v got something to have, and so have they :)

i live at home with my mother who earns less than me, if i see her short i slip for £50 now and then.

To me £50 is naff all, just a bit less saved but to her it makes the world of differance. She can go out 4/5 times for that much if i give her a lift!
 
You can't manage to drag your sorry little arse out of bed until 5pm and blame it on doing nights ....... I don't know what hours you "work" but when I worked nights, I finished at 6am and was up and doing things by 2pm.

You complain that there is nothing in the house to eat (let alone what you like) but you could have stocked up with stuff that you like at anytime.

You are given free food and act like the spoiled brat (did you hold your breath and stamp on the floor?) and then come out with the classic "if I'm not eating, I'm not setting the table".

You really should think about someone else other than yourself now and then ......

And, I suppose that you've guessed by now though ........ in answer to your question; yes, you are an ass and probably an arse too.

Yes but the truth hurts!

The OP should have knew what kind of response he'd get.

A positive response from the young 'uns that live at home for free on their parents back and a somewhat negative response from the older more world-wise folks, especially from parents like me!

i'm in the middle, i pay my way in the house, buy at least 1/3rd my own food and all clothes/toiletries etc etc, but tbqfh if my dad did to me what his did to the OP i'd be a bit ****** and then if he got confrontational i would fight back.

me and my dad get on alright most of the time, but when we fight each other it really is a fight, has come to blows before :(
