I get along with my dads girlfriend in most cases, but she eats his money. My dad works 80+ hours a week, and he gets paid for 40 hours. I feel terrible for him. I told him to find a new job. She has a job, she has her own daycare, but she's off work on doctors orders. I'm worried he might dig his hole deeper, what should I do?

There's really not much you can do. Some people need to learn from negative experience. You could try dropping hints about how you feel, but in a subtle way so that he may start thinking about where the money's going and why. Finding a new job may not be as easy as all that. When you say he only gets paid for 40 hours, do you mean he's being underpaid, or that she's taking 1/2 his pay???

Sit down with your dad and talk to him heart to heart about how you think his girlfriend is eating his money he may notice something and think you for bringing it to his attention. I mean my step mother was the same way with my dad and there are always going to be some kind of problem. If your dads girlfriend is out of work on doctors orders then why doesn't she file for unemployment even if she owns it she should be able to get some kind of help when she isn't getting any income from sitting on her *** and eating your dads money who I feel sorry for for only getting paid for 40 hours instead of the 80+ that's he works I would tell your father he needs to say something to his boss because that's not right be any means. I hope this helps but if it doesn't I'm sorry.

Nothing you really can do besides tell him how you feel...but remember that could make it worse... Your father is a grown man and he can make his own choices give him time and he will see her for what she really is an get tired of her doing what she is....... Just be there for your father and respect his choice even though you don't want too.... That way you keep the peace and love you have with him...
Hope this help to some degree Good Luck

Darlin' .This is a universal issue.
Your Dad made the money, it is his to spend. You however have right to voice your opinion. On the other hand...you do NOT have a right to harp about it. Voice your opinion and then learn to be polite. It is not your money.

unless you over hear her saying something nasty about your dad... tell him your comcerns gently but stay out of it.. Your dad is a grown up.
If she if off work on doctors orders I dont think she is "diggin for gold"
