You're kidding... right?
Lighten up, the guy stuck a big old smiley face on the end of his sentence.
Sure he doesnt come across as too sensitive to his Mothers funding but if she has offered to help him out on a trip around Europe (which lots of Mothers would anyway) then fair enough.
If I had a Son/Daughter who got to an age and wanted to travel about and experience some places then I would sport them the cash if I could.
His girlfriend just sees this as the ideal ammunition to use against him.
Ridiculous thread is ridiculous....
Hope everything turns out well OP, but for cryn' out bloody loud sort yourself out and take some responsibility for your stupid decisions....What you have explained is all your fault and nobody else's.

Its funny how righteous people on this forum are when I would say a large percentage spend their time locked away in their bedrooms in Mummy and Daddies house, getting their meals made and their washing done.
Most parents would love to have children who want to see the world a bit. I'd bet a lot of parents would rather lend their Son/Daughter cash than have them sit around in the house starching towels on their chests.

Yup I live with mummy and daddy. Meals made? Negative. Washing done? LOL no way. A very "if you don't do it, it won't get done" atmosphere in our house.
Yeah, my parents would love for me to get out there and see the world, but alas I will have to pay for it myself. If I want something, it's up to me to get it.
I get that his mum is happy to give him money, that's fine. It just doesn't sound as if he appreciates as much as he could. The "better late than never" comment particularly annoys me. I'm lucky if I get £10 from my parents, and if I do I get "you really should be more careful with your money".
Seems spoilt is all.
Jus' sayin'.
I wasnt targetting just you Kaffe but I appreciate the reply.
Your parents clearly operate a more strict approach to things than a lot of parents. Id say 90% of my friends all had parents cooking them Tea and happily doing any laundry.
Might be a Northern thing but we all love our Mams (mums). They do anything for us up here
I agree that he didnt come across too appreciative of his Mothers funds (as I mentioned earlier) , But I dont think it deserves half the grief he received

He posted knowing full well he would sound like an entitled manchild and he got exactly what he expected. I really don't see the issue here. I don't think anyone is saying he shouldn't see the world or do interesting things and go to interesting places - I mean, they're not, read the thread. What they are saying is that he is doing this whilst relying on (and then blaming) his mum and GF who clearly have considerations of their own.
He is acting selfishly and enjoying himself at others expense.

Bolded the bit that is basically how I felt yesterday, I did get caught up in enjoying my trip and now that I'm back I am trying to take responsibility for what I've done and said.
I'm not trying to blame, I'm incredibly grateful my mum offered to spot me the money so I could still go on my trip that I have been planning since the start of the year after having my passport stolen a few weeks before the trip and having to pay £850 to get it fast tracked back to me. If she hadn't of offered then I would have had to drastically reduce the length of my trip and mum knew this and knew that I only have a 2 year visa so any time I lose I don't get back basically. I should have pestered mum a bit earlier obviously but it was tough while away to get a hold of mum.
Its all beside the point now. I had a good chat with the missus later last night, she still isn't happy but we talked about what I am going to do going forward to make sure this doesn't happen again etc etc.
Also got a lovely email this morning from my mum letting me know that my cousins baby girl was delivered healthily this morning (afternoon back home), so I'm right up their near cloud nine at the moment.
Oh and at Grenboi I am living in the UK on a 2 year working holiday visa so once that is up I'll have head back to Aus.
Sorry, it wasn't said in malice, it was more meant as thinking the glass was half full as I'd hate to imagine where I'd be right now if I didn't have mums support in this.
I'm sorry if getting robbed somehow makes me worse at handling finances
Also I'm not expecting sympathy. I said I was an idiot and I feel bad about it, and I am resolving it. I just wanted to post to get it off my chest, plus I'd never had a real relationship thread before!

Being robbed was never mentioned unless I missed something. All I read was "Mum, GF, give me monies!"
Happy to be proven wrong however

That's pretty much what I read, but I think that's how he used to be, and is now feeling bad about it and wants to make it up to them?
Am I reading right this time?

eh I said I had setbacks in the OP, wasn't really the point of the thread so didn't feel the need to go into it. I got people being
at me, so I felt I had to clarify.Lol no, I was never as bad as mum, gf give me monies. I never asked, it was offered but I didn't pursue it enough and after turning my gf's offer down I then had to backtrack after that.

If you where financially secure getting your passport stolen would still not effect you that much as you would have money in "savings" to cover it.
My statement still stands regardless of circumstance. If you had no parents to bail you out you would have been screwed. Stop relying on your parents, grow some balls and sort yourself out.
No wonder your misses was ******, she appears to be dating a child as appose to a man.
