I don't understand parents like you who tell you what you should do. It's your life, you do what you want. Besides, it's very hard to balance studies and a job.

Except his mom is financially supporting him, so yeah whether people like it or not, she has a say in the matter too. Some people seem to forget that moms (before they became moms) were people too, with lives of their own that they hope to pursue once their kids become adults. Which he is an adult after all and no longer a child.

He also comes across as extremely spoiled and entitled to title this post “unsupportive parents” when it sounds like she does support him, considering he’s still living under her roof unless I’m reading him wrong?

Considering the amount of time he invests in posting on dxp, I think he could probably squeeze a few hours of work in if he chose to limit distractions instead of blaming his parents.

"forget that moms (before they became moms) were people too, with lives of their own that they hope to pursue once their kids become adults. Which he is an adult after all and no longer a child. "

Now that's an invalid argument. If they wanted so bad to keep their lives as they did, then they shouldn't have been a mum. I'd like to see y'all here, old parents, try to live the lives of people in their 20's. I don't know how things work in your respective countries, but I can guarantee you that if any french students here y'all talking like that, they'd kill you all with their arguments. This world isn't as it used to be. Here, event students who study + have a job struggle EVERYDAY. They can't feed themselves properly, barely sleep at night because they have homework or work late at night. You all here are treetrunking disgusting. Nobody forced you to become parents. I'm glad that my mother thinks otherwise.

Literally, my cousin had to quit college to support herself. Her brother can't work because he's so busy with his studies ( he studies physics and chemistry), he barely has time for himself. My best friend who has both a licence and master can't find a job, has been refused many times so she works in a restaurant but she's depressed because she can't have the career she actually WANTS. I struggled myself, but I feel grateful toward my mother for providing me a roof and promised her to repay her later, when I could work.

So, I don't want to hear any of you here talking for the youth. You all are old with a stable situation. Don't compare people in their 20's to people in their 40's.

Being on dxp doesn't mean anything. You people here to forget that you don't know anybody, not our lives, nothing. You can only assume stuff. I can't believe that 2 scorpios have the audacity to talk like that, because we're the sign which is perfectly aware of struggles in life. I'm disappointed.

OMG 🤣😂🤣😂 triggered much?! Calm the treetrunk down. I haven’t been 41 all of my life sweetheart. I’ve been in my 20s and struggled as well. Have worked since I was 16, graduated from nursing school + worked at the hospital with a 6 month old baby at home. Tell me again how I don’t know what it means to struggle. Miss me with the crybaby bullbutter about how “disgusting” we are. Even a baby bird has to be pushed out of the nest to fly at some point! Try not to take it so personally, damn. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m still laughing at the fact that he titled this “unsupportive parent”. The irony. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Should have been titled Entitlement at its finest. My mind is blown/

Yes triggered a lot even, because I witness people around my age struggling, depressed, almost suicidal, bullied, and I feel so sorry for them. I see the despair in all their stories. Meanwhile there are old people like you butterting on us, looking down on us instead of morally supporting us. We're not not from the same generations, when will you all understand that ? When you were in you 20's you lived a whole different era, with a different economy, and watch your mouth I'm not your sweetheart.

You call us cry babies, but who the treetrunk forced you to be pregnant so early ? Y'all just keep proving my point over and over again. Unlike what you old people think, we're perfectly aware of what being a parent mean, which is why many of us don't want to be one. Your old generation of hippies who used to smoke weed, dancing like Travolta at the night club and playing Queen are the reason we don't want to become like you ! The next generation of parents seem more promising than you all here, since I heard many of them saying they'll let their child do and be what they want, while respecting their choice.

I bet everything I have that if any of you here were in your 20's today most of you would be as lost as us. Covid made it worse for all of us. I know 2 people who can't even find an internship and they have a good resume, but if they can't find one they'll have to quit college. Even getting a driver license is treetrunking hard here, so quit calling us cry babies, quit acting all up.

None of you here has the right to speak in our names. Shut up.

LOL how old do you think she is? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You are referencing boomers and none of us here are boomers. I was 5 years old when that disco movie came out and I've never even watched it...let alone went to a disco. I have never even met a real hippie.

lmao. Imperfectstorm is a decade younger than I am!

Can you all just stop with that boomer word ? Are we on twitter now ?

Whether you were 5 back then or not, your generation was full of hippies. Most of you didn't pursue any studies in college after high school, to raise a family and get a job very early. The complete opposite of us. But good for you if you did a good job at raising your family.

Still, your life style s are the complete opposite of us and that's something you all need to understand. Doesn't mean none of us want to work though, just that we want to make sure to be in a stable situation before doing so. That's personally the choice that I and many of my friends did.

How can I stop? My generation went thru the same crap. As small as it was, we are often forgotten. There was no such thing as hippies in my life and there can be something learned from the first offspring of the generation that was selfish af and made us all fend for ourselves.

Nobody is criticizing your choices but you sure are criticizing others for theirs.

I didn't say you had it easier than us, for the second time, please learn to read properly

Each generation had/has it hard, but don't say I'm the one criticizing you because you guys started first. All I did was defending my generation, because YES, again, the way we operate today is very different from the you guys did before. You all talk as if life is linear and easy "get a job while studying instead of being a brat, ungrateful kid" I feel like hearing or stupid president talking (he once said "You want a job ? Cross the street and you have it" whereas EVERY young people in their 20's in this country know it's not that simple.). Even my mother who's in her 50's knows that it was easier to get a job (yup a simple student job) before than now. So does her sister and my friends parents. I believe you're from the US, aren't you ? I heard it wasn't hard to get one over-there, so maybe that's why we can't understand each others point. I have no right to speak for your country though, but here in France, things are very different, so much that you all might be surprised (not in a good way).

I can respect this.

Funny how I would give my right arm to live in France. Covid has made that an impossible goal now.

Like I said before, if you're wealthy come here. You can only succeed here if you come from a rich family or want to be a doctor/surgeon/etc OR have the right connections. The country is literally imploding, everything is expensive and nobody like to see you successful. And don't even start me with the next president election, it's hopeless. If I can I'll leave.

Peachy isnt even complaining about her parents wtf
Just stating factz that people who are obligated to do minimum wage to survive in this age are depressed and often go nowhere in life
Its not completly their fault but circustances
Plus shame on elder females trying to disregard her goals the way she want to do, Focusing and relaxed, then get a good job on field, her mom Will be proud
And dxpers kinda desiring that she Go through the same crap path, this smells envy lol

Stop deflecting. Nobody was talking about Peachy.

So why the endless discussions with her lol
She is 26-27 and also only studying and living with parents

Because I thought it was hilarious that she brought up disco and hippies as if we are 60+ years old.

I have no issue with living with parents, times are difficult. But she is not putting her mother down like you did.

What If her mother wanted to kick her out and she complains?

Ha ha ha, she would never. We often discuss about those things and just thinking about it makes her sick. My mother is a kind person who'd never let anyone struggle and try to help if she can.

Yeah i was justing asking elle what If your had a complaint If this ever happened
What would you do If you had another mother and she did that to you?
Ik your real mom wouldnt do that

click to expand

Got it 👍🏼

For what it's worth, I hope you succeed in life, I don't know you but I mean it. Just whatever you do, don't blame your parents and always do your best. I wish our generation will get the help it deserves, even when I'll be old I hope our world would have learned its lesson to help the youth properly.

I think you may have forgotten that you don't just land on this earth with grown kids.

We were in our twenties too.

There were several people in here who shared their experience and what they did to get thru it.

For some reason that experience has been ridiculed and the OP felt it was beneath him.

Why do people think their parents just magically appeared comfortable and okay financially? Most people don't come from inheritance or money....your parents struggled too. To think that everything should be easy is just a bad tribute to your parents, tbh.

Everyone wants a great career and a comfortable life but it is not the job of your parents to get you there, there is a certain amount of effort on your part and that is not just obtaining a degree.

Disclaimer - You = Royal You

Read what I wrote again. I don't want to repeat myself. We're from different generations.

My mother often tells me stories about her youth, she struggled as well, never earned a diplomas, started from scratch, she raised me alone while going to work at 17 to help her parents. Hell, she was never there when I was a child because of her work. I'm no stranger to your stories, all I'm asking is you all to try and understand ours. Because things have changed. Not saying you had it easier, but we don't neither. Of course we know the importance of having a career, our own money, that's actually what, we people in our 20's keep preaching, we encourage everybody to be independant to get a degree. BUT, sometimes it's hard to get there, it takes time.

I know this. I have a 29 and 31 year old.

Nobody said it wasn't hard but blaming your parents doesn't get anyone there any faster.

I've never blamed my mother for my mistakes, only blamed her for not being there for me and seeing when I was bullied back in middle school which strongly impacted my present. I'm sure you're talking for OP, but know that we aren't all the same. I've always been grateful toward my mother, tried to my best to catch up on all my mistakes while struggling with my health issues, and swore I will always be there for her if she needs anything in the future, even when I'll be working. I'm not quite there yet, but I know what I want to do with my life, I've already reached a few of my goals and won't give up until I get the career that I dream of.

I was specifically talking to the OP about his mother and how ungrateful and disrespectful he was being.

I don't know you and I've never seen you talk ill about your mum.

click to expand

That's what I said. I'd never talk ill about her, she has her flaws as I said multiple times here, but she's a good mother, understanding, who raised me well, always encouraged me in all my goals and projects, and taught me the importance of work. I'm forever grateful for her for everything she did for me, I'm lucky. I hope to pay her back by being successful so I could buy her everything she wants.

So, I don't want to hear any of you here talking for the youth. You all are old with a stable situation. Don't compare people in their 20's to people in their 40's.

Being on dxp doesn't mean anything. You people here to forget that you don't know anybody, not our lives, nothing. You can only assume stuff. I can't believe that 2 scorpios have the audacity to talk like that, because we're the sign which is perfectly aware of struggles in life. I'm disappointed.

OMG 🤣😂🤣😂 triggered much?! Calm the treetrunk down. I haven’t been 41 all of my life sweetheart. I’ve been in my 20s and struggled as well. Have worked since I was 16, graduated from nursing school + worked at the hospital with a 6 month old baby at home. Tell me again how I don’t know what it means to struggle. Miss me with the crybaby bullbutter about how “disgusting” we are. Even a baby bird has to be pushed out of the nest to fly at some point! Try not to take it so personally, damn. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m still laughing at the fact that he titled this “unsupportive parent”. The irony. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Should have been titled Entitlement at its finest. My mind is blown/

Yes triggered a lot even, because I witness people around my age struggling, depressed, almost suicidal, bullied, and I feel so sorry for them. I see the despair in all their stories. Meanwhile there are old people like you butterting on us, looking down on us instead of morally supporting us. We're not not from the same generations, when will you all understand that ? When you were in you 20's you lived a whole different era, with a different economy, and watch your mouth I'm not your sweetheart.

You call us cry babies, but who the treetrunk forced you to be pregnant so early ? Y'all just keep proving my point over and over again. Unlike what you old people think, we're perfectly aware of what being a parent mean, which is why many of us don't want to be one. Your old generation of hippies who used to smoke weed, dancing like Travolta at the night club and playing Queen are the reason we don't want to become like you ! The next generation of parents seem more promising than you all here, since I heard many of them saying they'll let their child do and be what they want, while respecting their choice.

I bet everything I have that if any of you here were in your 20's today most of you would be as lost as us. Covid made it worse for all of us. I know 2 people who can't even find an internship and they have a good resume, but if they can't find one they'll have to quit college. Even getting a driver license is treetrunking hard here, so quit calling us cry babies, quit acting all up.

None of you here has the right to speak in our names. Shut up.

LOL how old do you think she is? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You are referencing boomers and none of us here are boomers. I was 5 years old when that disco movie came out and I've never even watched it...let alone went to a disco. I have never even met a real hippie.

lmao. Imperfectstorm is a decade younger than I am!

Can you all just stop with that boomer word ? Are we on twitter now ?

Whether you were 5 back then or not, your generation was full of hippies. Most of you didn't pursue any studies in college after high school, to raise a family and get a job very early. The complete opposite of us. But good for you if you did a good job at raising your family.

Still, your life style s are the complete opposite of us and that's something you all need to understand. Doesn't mean none of us want to work though, just that we want to make sure to be in a stable situation before doing so. That's personally the choice that I and many of my friends did.

I don't understand parents like you who tell you what you should do. It's your life, you do what you want. Besides, it's very hard to balance studies and a job.

Except his mom is financially supporting him, so yeah whether people like it or not, she has a say in the matter too. Some people seem to forget that moms (before they became moms) were people too, with lives of their own that they hope to pursue once their kids become adults. Which he is an adult after all and no longer a child.

He also comes across as extremely spoiled and entitled to title this post “unsupportive parents” when it sounds like she does support him, considering he’s still living under her roof unless I’m reading him wrong?

Considering the amount of time he invests in posting on dxp, I think he could probably squeeze a few hours of work in if he chose to limit distractions instead of blaming his parents.

"forget that moms (before they became moms) were people too, with lives of their own that they hope to pursue once their kids become adults. Which he is an adult after all and no longer a child. "

Now that's an invalid argument. If they wanted so bad to keep their lives as they did, then they shouldn't have been a mum. I'd like to see y'all here, old parents, try to live the lives of people in their 20's. I don't know how things work in your respective countries, but I can guarantee you that if any french students here y'all talking like that, they'd kill you all with their arguments. This world isn't as it used to be. Here, event students who study + have a job struggle EVERYDAY. They can't feed themselves properly, barely sleep at night because they have homework or work late at night. You all here are treetrunking disgusting. Nobody forced you to become parents. I'm glad that my mother thinks otherwise.

Literally, my cousin had to quit college to support herself. Her brother can't work because he's so busy with his studies ( he studies physics and chemistry), he barely has time for himself. My best friend who has both a licence and master can't find a job, has been refused many times so she works in a restaurant but she's depressed because she can't have the career she actually WANTS. I struggled myself, but I feel grateful toward my mother for providing me a roof and promised her to repay her later, when I could work.

I think you may have forgotten that you don't just land on this earth with grown kids.

We were in our twenties too.

There were several people in here who shared their experience and what they did to get thru it.

For some reason that experience has been ridiculed and the OP felt it was beneath him.

Why do people think their parents just magically appeared comfortable and okay financially? Most people don't come from inheritance or money....your parents struggled too. To think that everything should be easy is just a bad tribute to your parents, tbh.

Everyone wants a great career and a comfortable life but it is not the job of your parents to get you there, there is a certain amount of effort on your part and that is not just obtaining a degree.

Read what I wrote again. I don't want to repeat myself. We're from different generations.

My mother often tells me stories about her youth, she struggled as well, never earned a diplomas, started from scratch, she raised me alone while going to work at 17 to help her parents. Hell, she was never there when I was a child because of her work. I'm no stranger to your stories, all I'm asking is you all to try and understand ours. Because things have changed. Not saying you had it easier, but we don't neither. Of course we know the importance of having a career, our own money, that's actually what, we people in our 20's keep preaching, we encourage everybody to be independant to get a degree. BUT, sometimes it's hard to get there, it takes time.

Can I remind those who say, how tough it is for 20 + year old student. Most 40+ year olds and parents may not be well off financially either. Consider the costs a parent has, so when they see you in your mid 20's coasting and ask you to pull your socks up and you want to cry about it, is why the younger generation is struggling. No one wants to hire those with excuses, they want those who get on with butter.

If they can't support their children, they shouldn't have been parents in the first placel.

A 24 year old is NO LONGER A CHILD 💡🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂

So how do you call your children ? A thing ? But seeing all the butter you wrote here, they must be complete strangers to you, indeed.

My dear no one is immune to falling on hard times. Blaming a parent for not being able to support you, as an adult. Really?

What do you say to those children who fully support their parents financially in their old age?

Apply your advice to us, then.

I'm not blaming you for not supporting us as adults in a materialistic way. However encouraging us with good intentions instead of pushing/pressuring us into stuff is what I blame you for. The problem with you, old generation is the lack of understanding when it comes to social matters. You were the generation capable of improving the economy, but you have no understanding of social issues, on the other hand, we're the generation fixing your mistakes.

What about a kid who expects his parents to support him into their late 20s. Is that good for kid and parents?
Everyone needs to learn to grow up sometime?

My friends and I still live at our parents houses, and I know many young people who still do, simply because it's hard to get a job, a flat or money in this day and age. It's not easy to be young nowadays, I find what you said a bit insensitive. Like I said, it's hard to balance both a job and college.

Yes a very different way of life for sure ... I see that with our lad and his friends but they do all study and work
I never put pressure on him to do both.
Sorry if you thought i was being insensitive, no offence intensed and the irony of that is, my Taurus Moon has always been a bit of a pushover😀

Maybe it's easier to balance both in Ireland ? In France it's very very hard. I see/read students struggling everyday, recently they said depression among the youth increased a lot. Even those who have a high degree struggle to find a job. Unless you accept to be exploited at Macdonald's, it's really hard. Nowadays, people in their 20's would rather finish their studies first, then find a job.

I don't like the word boomer, but I don't understand people who speak like that, it's really hard to be young. I live in a country where they barely hire you and finding a small flat is almost impossible.
