Wouldn’t it have been nice to get Bernie’s medicare for all, with vision and dental coverage, so people fresh out of college with their likely first real job don’t need to ask their shitty ass parents for help?

It would be nice if boomers and older Gen Xers would stop cashing out and then blaming millennials and zennials for the inflation being out of control and the economy not being the monolith it was in the 1980's. You know, the 80's during which that little tech boom thing happened right around the time a famous actor got elected president and immediately started de-regulating everything under the sun so that huge corporations could start squeezing employees and consumers like the chattel they are, thereby inflating the value of goods, services, and land.

Sad b/c teachers really don't get rewarded monetarily enough, and OOP is acting like that's some kinda lucrative career that would provide enough even for that.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Dude this is like every post on the estranged parents sub on reddit... they really are oblivious to the fact that their kids have good reasons to hate them

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 112 points 3 days ago

"no real kids"

"no real bills"

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

the fact that he added "real" to both means she has them but he somehow doesn't consider them real, whatever the fuck that means. but this sounds like a total piece of shit and i feel sorry for the 24 year old.

nothing like ruining the economy and the future for the next generation and then refusing to help.

Why does she say no real kids? Did she adopt or something and the mom is crazy?

[-] keyez@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Probably has a pet or two and doesn't want any "real" kids so they don't end up acting like their parents...

[-] AprilShowers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago

My fifth grade teacher never had any kids, and considered us as her children. Maybe something like that is what she is referring to?

24 y/o with a teaching job.

No real income is what she has. Probably on top of a shitton student debt.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 114 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Don't forget how much money she spends on classroom supplies for her "not real kids"!

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 84 points 3 days ago

Apparently she doesn't have a good parent either.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

"no real bills" I'd believe...if the parent said she lived at home (no rent, and food provided), was on parents' insurance (health, auto, etc.), had no student debt, and was walking distance to work.

But given that her parent didn't, I'd guess that isn't the case. Turns out rent, food, transportation, and like you said, student debt, are all...what's the word...real bills?

Someone tell them "i think i raised an entitled shit" isn't the pwn they think it is

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 122 points 3 days ago

This pervasive selfishness in older generations sickens and astounds me.

Imagine not wanting to give your kids everything.

I would forego food if I had to in order to help my kids see better.

The fuck does no real bills mean? Does eating, rent and gas/insurance not count as real bill?

[-] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 39 points 3 days ago

Forget the bills, why does she clarify no real kids?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 22 points 3 days ago

Pets, or the more grotesque option, step-children.

More importantly what does no real kids mean?

Step kids? Only daughters? Just pets?

I wonder if this lady will ever realize the politicians she votes for (come on, we know which party) are why her daughter with one of the most importsnt jobs in the entire world can't afford to see. Probably not.

To be fair you can get a pair of glasses on Zenni for like 20 bucks.

Best part is if you know your script you can tweak it if your vision changes.

[-] SasquatchCosmonaut@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I've been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.

"No one has audacity like the people you raised" proceeds to post about it to potentially millions of people, you know like people without audacity do.

what does "no real kids" and "no real bills" mean?

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 63 points 3 days ago

Pets and "only" bills related to the daughter and her everyday life.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

She's a teacher, so she has kids that aren't hers, and probably pays her phone bill and auto loan and student debt (and possibly rent to her shitty parents). Those parents of course don't consider those real bills.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's worse when you consider that "real bills", ie a mortgage, is probably out of her reach while he had it easy.

He's mocking his own daughter, when she probably got absolutely fucked by corruption and the economy, for not having the opportunity to indebt herself for housing, when he probably bought his house on a potato salary.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Am I the only one who lives with their parent and helps paying bills? I am asking, because some people seem to be surprised that my father forces me to pay for the living in his house, but the truth is I don't mind that, and I'd rather not be a freeloader.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

If your parents want you to pay rent, while at the same time complaining that you still live with them(which is often the situation), they can charitably be called dumbfucks.

I mean, if you're an adult with an income and living with anyone else (parents, roommate, etc.), you really should be helping with the upkeep of the place and bills. As well as paying for your own food, phone bill, etc.

"Forcing you to pay" sounds harsh without context. You'd have to pay rent to live anywhere else, right? Perhaps, "expected to pay" seems more logical... assuming you're an adult with an income.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Setting an appropriate amount of contribution is between you and your dad. There is no wrong way except if a child truly needs a roof to sleep under and they aren't a complete fuck up.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Even complete fuck ups need a roof

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

But at some point, it doesn't necessarily mean your roof. Especially if the fuck ups damage property or other persons.

It wouldn’t occur to me to broadcast this to others on the internet, especially with personal details, even for a random solicitor, let alone a family member, let alone my own child.

And since the kid didn’t anticipate the public ridicule, it may very well be the first time they ever asked for this kind of help. What an awful way to learn your parent considers you little more than an expendable prop in their social life.

In nature, some species prey upon their young. We usually understand this as an evolutionary mechanism, to ensure only the strongest offspring survive. With that in mind, if your parent behaves like this, consider that they may no longer be your caregiver, and it may be time for you to decide what it takes to be the offspring that survives.

  1. Teaching is a real job, probably one of the hardest
  2. Your daughter is fucking blind, and you're laughing at her? You are slime

I only pay made-up fake bills, no real ones

[-] trumpetmouth@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago

Dammit Mom, my 56 imaginary kids cost me nearly my ENTIRE paycheck! Have some sympathy.

But for real, what is "real kids?"

[-] yuri@pawb.social 30 points 3 days ago

because she’s a teacher she probably pays out of pocket for school/project supplies. i’ve known a good few teachers, and refereeing to students as sort-of surrogate children is very common. i’d put my money on the mom hassling the daughter about not yet having kids, and the daughter saying something like “i already have kids!” and this idiot is still bitter about it because she feels she is OWED grandchildren.

i’m making a LOT of assumptions here, but like i said i WOULD put money on it. you hear enough firsthand stories and you start making these sort of assumptions.
