[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662664, member: 1550"] Insane, just thinking you are probably the exception not knowing how to say no to a parent's gift. Most kids can say it easily (adult kids). I don't think this man is atypical. I just think he's wanting to save money so he accepts money from his parents, which is selfish and wrong, and then doesn't want to help his older dad because he doesn't want to help his older dad. His life otherwise is too functional for him to be very atypical. I am slightly atypical and that doesn't mean I can't do anything...there are some things I can't, but saying "no, I don't want that from you" isn't hard. Now I'm not going to pursue these thoughts on this thread, but in my opinion only (and it's up to Nomad what to think and what to do, not you and not me) I t hink he's just used to getting free money, doesn't like to spend his own and is being a bit of a brat. Either way, the money should stop yesterday. He doesn't need it. He has it. He's old enough to let his parenst off the hook and he certainly can help his father in a bind. To me it is disrespectful and wrong that he won't. I don't think it's anything that unusual...just that he doesn't want to help his dad, but he likes when his dad helps him. Happens every day. Agree to respectfully disagree and give Nomad food for thought :) [/QUOTE]
