Sad b/c teachers really don't get rewarded monetarily enough, and OOP is acting like that's some kinda lucrative career that would provide enough even for that.

Wouldn’t it have been nice to get Bernie’s medicare for all, with vision and dental coverage, so people fresh out of college with their likely first real job don’t need to ask their shitty ass parents for help?
It would be nice if boomers and older Gen Xers would stop cashing out and then blaming millennials and zennials for the inflation being out of control and the economy not being the monolith it was in the 1980's. You know, the 80's during which that little tech boom thing happened right around the time a famous actor got elected president and immediately started de-regulating everything under the sun so that huge corporations could start squeezing employees and consumers like the chattel they are, thereby inflating the value of goods, services, and land.
Dude this is like every post on the estranged parents sub on reddit... they really are oblivious to the fact that their kids have good reasons to hate them
Why does she say no real kids? Did she adopt or something and the mom is crazy?
My fifth grade teacher never had any kids, and considered us as her children. Maybe something like that is what she is referring to?
Probably has a pet or two and doesn't want any "real" kids so they don't end up acting like their parents...
She has robokids
Someone tell them "i think i raised an entitled shit" isn't the pwn they think it is
"no real kids"
"no real bills"
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
the fact that he added "real" to both means she has them but he somehow doesn't consider them real, whatever the fuck that means. but this sounds like a total piece of shit and i feel sorry for the 24 year old.
nothing like ruining the economy and the future for the next generation and then refusing to help.

I only pay made-up fake bills, no real ones
To be fair you can get a pair of glasses on Zenni for like 20 bucks.
With prescription lenses?
Best part is if you know your script you can tweak it if your vision changes.
Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I've been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.

From what I remember, $20 gets you a premium pair! I was getting glasses from Zenni and others for <$10.
If the daughter is looking at Lasik, it's not out of necessity.
Am I the only one who lives with their parent and helps paying bills? I am asking, because some people seem to be surprised that my father forces me to pay for the living in his house, but the truth is I don't mind that, and I'd rather not be a freeloader.
If your parents want you to pay rent, while at the same time complaining that you still live with them(which is often the situation), they can charitably be called dumbfucks.
I really subscribe to the idea of the kid helping on bills + a little extra and the parent saving as much as they financially can of that into an account and giving it to their kid as a moving away gift.
But yes, I think you are more talking about having the kid pay market price to live at home which is fucked.
I understand the need to privacy as people get older, but if my kids want to stay with me for a long period of their life, I will be pleased to have them with me as long as they like.
I mean, if you're an adult with an income and living with anyone else (parents, roommate, etc.), you really should be helping with the upkeep of the place and bills. As well as paying for your own food, phone bill, etc.
"Forcing you to pay" sounds harsh without context. You'd have to pay rent to live anywhere else, right? Perhaps, "expected to pay" seems more logical... assuming you're an adult with an income.
Setting an appropriate amount of contribution is between you and your dad. There is no wrong way except if a child truly needs a roof to sleep under and they aren't a complete fuck up.
Even complete fuck ups need a roof
But at some point, it doesn't necessarily mean your roof. Especially if the fuck ups damage property or other persons.
It's situational, but you're not the only one.
I lived with my dad for many years because he slowly lost the ability to take care of himself. My brother and I were there to handle whatever he needed and since I was working full time, I'd cover bills when it was required, either because he forgot or because he was struggling.
We eventually made the decision to have him moved to a care facility where he could get the care he needed, and far better care than we could hope to provide. He's passed on now, but it happens. That was a crazy time in my life. Now I live independently.
For the record, I'm over 40 now, and I'm the youngest of his children. He died a few years back at this point.

To be fair... On the one hand, publicly complaining about the upbringing of your own daughter is just bad, but on the other...
When you're 24 years old with your own (presumedly good) income and you want a non critical operation done, shouldn't you try and finance that yourself?
Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.
LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.
Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she's entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.
Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on... At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with
Shouldn't goverment finance healthcare?
Wait, wrong country.
Finace yourself? In this economy?!
Shouldn’t goverment finance healthcare?
Are there any countries where LASIK is covered?

Remember when our parents told us social media is bad? Here it is, they are exactly why.
24 y/o with a teaching job.
No real income is what she has. Probably on top of a shitton student debt.
Don't forget how much money she spends on classroom supplies for her "not real kids"!

"No one has audacity like the people you raised" proceeds to post about it to potentially millions of people, you know like people without audacity do.
I wonder if this lady will ever realize the politicians she votes for (come on, we know which party) are why her daughter with one of the most importsnt jobs in the entire world can't afford to see. Probably not.

The fuck does no real bills mean? Does eating, rent and gas/insurance not count as real bill?

This pervasive selfishness in older generations sickens and astounds me.
Imagine not wanting to give your kids everything.
I would forego food if I had to in order to help my kids see better.
I believe it’s because they’re all brain damaged due to lead poisoning from leaded gasoline that was widely used in their formative years.

It wouldn’t occur to me to broadcast this to others on the internet, especially with personal details, even for a random solicitor, let alone a family member, let alone my own child.
And since the kid didn’t anticipate the public ridicule, it may very well be the first time they ever asked for this kind of help. What an awful way to learn your parent considers you little more than an expendable prop in their social life.
In nature, some species prey upon their young. We usually understand this as an evolutionary mechanism, to ensure only the strongest offspring survive. With that in mind, if your parent behaves like this, consider that they may no longer be your caregiver, and it may be time for you to decide what it takes to be the offspring that survives.

- Teaching is a real job, probably one of the hardest
- Your daughter is fucking blind, and you're laughing at her? You are slime
