Sneaky

By Suckered - 04/12/2015 21:47 - United States - Hialeah

Today, I found out my son was never accepted into the local university two years ago. He actually went out and got a job, and only lied about it so he could keep living in my house rent-free. The conniving bastard makes more than I do at my minimum-wage job. FML

How did he manage to pull that off for two years? Are you really that oblivious to what's going on in your son's life?

Give him a rental contract and tell him he can sign it or leave. It was unfair of him to do that. Also, did you not catch on that he wasn't in school when at least four sessions-worth of finals passed without him panicking?

honestly I feel that this sucks for you, but than I don't necessarily pitty you. if he's you're son, you should of been more aware as to what was going on in his life and be more interested in his schooling. like what did you expect when he didn't talk about his classes, and didn't bring school work back? he didn't even talk about stressing over finals.

He lied, ok... He makes more than you, ok. What have you done with your life that he was able to find a better job than you right out of high school? Why aren't you more involved with his life that it took two years for you to find the truth.

Good job on raising a self sufficient child. Now learn a skill and get a better job.

That's a little stupid, isn't it? Have you thought it may be possible said parent hasn't been able to, because they had a family to look after? Many jobs and skills require full-time availability, which isn't always possible.

Probably because he's been paying for tuition, books, gas, food, utilities, a mortgage, etc. on a minimum wage salary under the impression that his son could not provide for himself when, in fact, he's been making plenty of money and keeping it all to himself.

You really don't pay attention to your sons life do you?

You're an idiot. Maybe further your education so that you can get a better paying job? Minimum wage jobs are for kids and young adults paying their way through college. Not grown ass adults with children of their own. People like you are a problem for this world. Plague on the rest of us.

Well while his methods may be a bit... shady... at least you know you raised your kid to know how to take care of them self one way or another. better than a lot of parents do these days

It kind of sucks on your behalf that he was more afraid you'd be pissed he wasn't accepted into college, rather than feeling that you would be proud he got a good job. My parents were less than thrilled when I left college, but super-proud when I went into healthcare with on-the-job training and certification. You kind of sound like a dick parent.
