They turned what was supposed to be a fun night into a nightmare for everybody. It’s no fun to be in a situation where you feel like you can do nothing right.

Dad refuses to call an ambulance for his 25-year-old son, whose spleen ruptured, because he was at work and ambulances are expensive: ‘He looked at me and asked if I could drive myself.’
If someone is begging you to call an ambulance, that’s precisely what you should do. I’m sure a lot of us have been in a situation where we knew someone needed to go to the Emergency Room, but they were extremely hesitant because they didn’t think their ailment was that serious. It’s stressful to know …

Son and daughter-in-law announce they will spend Christmas Eve with his parents and Christmas Day with her parents indefinitely; his parents beg for them to alternate every year: ‘The implication is that we will never host them on Christmas Day.’
Situations like this are why people hate the holiday season. The holidays are the perfect time to make your family feel guilty about not spending enough time with you. After all, why enjoy the togetherness of Thanksgiving and Christmas? It’s so much more fun to sigh and moan about how life could be like this …

Dad leaves his fortune to his daughter 5 years before he passes, leaving nothing to his son, who barely saw him for 12 years: ‘My brother still thinks he is going to inherit a fortune and is already planning how to spend it.’
His dad should’ve told him that he was getting nothing when he was alive. Many people feel entitled to their family members’ money. We all know someone who thinks that they deserve thousands of dollars from their grandparents upon their passing, even though they made no effort to have a relationship with them when they …

72-year-old claims his 35 to 45-year-old kids don’t work as hard as he did, despite him receiving $1500 a month since he was 18 years old from a trust fund: ‘They want everything handed to them without effort.’
He can’t even acknowledge that he’s had a considerable boost in life that has nothing to do with him working hard. It’s funny to get financial advice from somebody with a completely different economic background. If someone has their college paid for by their parents and receives financial support from them into adulthood, they are …

30-year-old son lives rent-free off his mom and her husband for 2 years, mom refuses to stand up to him when he yells at her husband: ‘My wife thinks I’m overreacting and should just ignore his behavior.’
She’s been ignoring his bad behavior for 30 years, and look where that got her. There’s something kind of despicable about a fully grown adult who is perfectly capable of working and supporting themself deciding that they’d rather mooch off of their aging parents. If you’ve never known someone like this, you might think this …

When adult children move back into their parents’ house, it is rarely their first choice of living situation. Most of the time, they are going there either because they have been kicked out of their previous accommodation, or they want to save some money, and neither of those options exactly screams ‘fun’. Even those who …

If you’re going to give a family member a large financial gift, you can’t dictate what they do with that money. You can advise them all you want not to blow five figures on online sports gambling, but if they’re determined to do so, they will do it. If you’re loaning money to a close …

50-year-old mom moves in with 32-year-old son because she only has $200 a months after paying bills and debt: ‘How do I do this without feeling guilty?’
It’s very common for parents to move in with their adult children when they can’t afford to live on their own. This type of arrangement doesn’t work for all families, especially when the parents and their kids aren’t particularly close, and they’re only interacting with them because they have nowhere else to turn. If you …
