Ungrateful or Not?
A male co-worker of mine tells me he had an unpleasant experience this week with his 24 year old daughter who is currently living at home, working and going to college.
She confronted him and was complaining to him as if she was his mother. She enrolled in college immediately upon finishing high school with his help. Attended two years and decided she did not want to continue. He paid for her college expenses. Now she is upset because he does not buy food for the house and she blames him for her not being with her looser boyfriend who my co-worker said had no future nor ambition. If there is a need for heating oil in the house and he is traveling on business, she calls to tell him instead of calling the oil company and paying for it. She is using her "good" salary on herself. To me it is ridiculous that she expects him to treat her as if she is 18 years old. My son is the same way and he is 30 years old.
Some children these days have the audacity to speak to their parents as if the parents are their children instead. It is ridiculous.
