is this unreasonable or nah
i just graduated high school and my parents want to charge me for living in the house and for eating at home. i don’t have a job so i don’t have income. i feel like this is super unreasonable but they won’t change their mind. should i just stay with my friend instead of living here?
Is there any other reasons other than the fact that you've graduated HS..? Because that's unreasonable considering the fact that you don't have a job nor stable income to support yourself. If you can't convince them to live with you until you got a job, just go live temporarily with your friends until then. reply
Is it possible to sue them for giving birth to you without your consent? What I said is dumb but your parents charging you is also dumb. It’s unreasonable. You’re still young. If you’re 25 and still there jobless doing nothing it’s understandable. The least they can do is to support you for a while until you can feed yourself and get a prop...... 1 reply
Yk, I get the whole reason behind it; You wanna teach them the responsibilities of paying bills and other stuff along with that. But I still find it fucking WILD that some parents have the nerve (not meaning this in an ungrateful or sassy way, mind you) to charge you when you, yourself had nothing to do with being born/alive into this world. It was...... reply
What kind of parent would be able to live with their conscience after taking rent money from their own kid? Please find another set of parents asap reply
I don’t think it’s unreasonable. When you’re an adult, you should be able to get a job and pay for yourself. Not saying you have to be working a super high paying job, and living on your own is pretty hard in this economy, but being able to hold a job and not be a bum is something you should do when you’re an adult. Ofc, if you have a disab...... 1 reply
In my opinion, it’s unreasonable. Parents are responsible for their children, but that doesn’t mean their children can be a bum and leech off of them though.
You’re still young & just graduated from hs so it makes sense to still be dependent on your parents. Maybe they just want to motivate you to get a job by saying that?
But if you still ...... reply
My parents made me pay for my studies and pay for rent too; it didn't teach me anything I didn't know already and only made me resent them. Getting a job was a good thing, making me get one because they didn't leave me any other choice and I had no say in it wasn't. It's the opposite of treating you like an adult BTW. It's "you're my kid and you'l...... reply
When I started to pay to live somewhere I had a personal hierarchy of requirements. First a place I'm safe, second a place that's cheap and lastly a place I want to be.
So if your friends place is safe, free/cheaper or happier for you skedadle. It sucks for me to talk things out with people who have this invisible hierarchy of I own your life and...... reply
If they're expecting you to pay like you're renting the place sure hope they aren't expecting you to do any household chores or follow any rules they put in place for kids. :/
Really sorry they're doing this to you. Ofc it's good to learn to learn to be responsible for yourself, but some parents act like they stop having to be a parent the second...... reply
