So, i am 31 as of saturday, my wife is 44, and makes good money, i can stay home and do whatever...?

Question

I want to, and i work sometimes, we do ok, but her daughter called her and cussed her out today, even called her a bad mother, because she wants money, should it be my wife's job to keep giving her money? or should she close the pursestrings? she's already given her over 4 grand this year, and she is about 20...

what i meant, is we do ok, we only have one car, i work when i can, and she just got a big raise last year by moving jobs, i am saving for a car so i can go back to work full time. But her daughter never pays back these "loans"

ipray, i agree with you, we moved out in the sticks on my wife's choice, and i have been saving for a car, my issue is transpo, not energy, i WANT to work, just can't get to a job.

Answer 1

nice job, gold digger

Answer 2

Depends...are you staying at home for a reason because you are caring for a child, or are ill? If not, I think it would be really hard for a Mom to say no to a daughter who is 20 and out there on her own, while saying yes to you at 31. The daughter may be feeling hurt emotionally because of that and is lashing out. This is wrong of her, but she is young.

I am not trying to be bold...just wondering what the circumstances are to get a better understanding of your question. Best wishes in whatever happens. Family is important. I would recommend keeping quiet and letting your wife make the decison on this one. It is her daughter.

Answer 3

Anyone that cusses out her mother, or is verbally abusive to her mother deserves nothing. That 20 year old is not ENTITLED to her mothers money. $4,000 this year already? That's a lot of money for an able bodied young woman to get from her mother. Sounds like Miss Twenty needs to get a job.

Answer 4

She's 18+, no longer Mommas responsibility. The more she gives, the more she'll want.

Answer 5

Are you Borak or something?
