Did you get help

[DoWhat]

Did you get help from your parents when you ventured out into the real world?

Once employed, we were charged rent to live at home until we could afford to move out. I will do the same to mine...

 

[mAlice]

No.

 

[redheadedhussy]

No, they offered several times, but never took it. Miss them both very much

Help was always available, but I chose not to take advantage of it. 'Cept once. I could have done without it, but they kicked in a bit to help with a first time mortgage. Paid it back a few months later.

I plan to do this, but will stash away the "rent" and give it to girl when she moves out. She'll never expect it, and it will help her furnish and accessorize her new digs.

Only had to ask a time or two and Dad helped. Now with two sons if they ask for help, which has happened, I'm there for them.

No. I have had my parents ask me for help though.

My mom decided when I was 16 she wanted to get remarried and move in with her husband. I wasnt invited. I have been on my own since then. No help offered or needed.

My husbands dad did this and it was a wonderful surprise for him. It really helped him out when he bought his first house.

I left at 17 and made my own way.

I just called mom and asked them to borrow $20. She is mailing it tomorrow.

Shotgun wedding?

 

[n0n1m0us3]

My mom might have helped me pack or held the door open for me when I left...

No I have to pay off Columbia House records and tapes. Got 13 Cassettes for 1 penny but I have to buy 10 at regular price. One more to go and I am free from them forever.

You should have her send it Western Union.

Same here..at same age. Took a few extra years to get through college but coming out with the degree and zero debt was worth that extra effort too.

 

[Mdbtyhtr]

On my own since 17, when we got married, we were so past broke we had to take a bus back to broke! My parents never offered and we never asked. Her parents would have if they could have. Two different worlds. Now we are older and have significantly helped out all of our children, and were happy to do it. Now, does anybody have any advice on getting rid of a 24 year old daughter? She won't go and we have threatened to move, she says that she will find us!

I never paid them either.

I wrote them a letter and told them I was ten.
