Does anyone else ever feel like their parents lean too heavily on them for financial support? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love them and I’m so thankful. It just seems like the older they get, the less shy they are about asking for things and I’m hitting a point where I’m going to have to start saying no.

My parents never ask me for money, but if they did, I'd gladly give them whatever they needed in a heartbeat. The way I look at it, they supported me all those years, the least I can do is help them in their time of need.

I would take into consideration whether they ACTUALLY need money or if its for pleasure. I would need more context. Are they themselves being financially responsible with their money? Is it a large sum monthly being requested?

It's all relative. How much are they asking for on avg per month?

I honestly had to cut them off. I love them and want to help but it was getting to be too much. My siblings are the same way. I get so irritated that it feels like everyone is taking advantage of me.

I couldn't imagine, having my parents AND my siblings relying on me. Hang in there!

Yes, I've dealt with the stress of it through my entire teenage years and into adulthood. I love my parents so much and want to help as much as possible, because they genuinely need help, but sometimes it bogs me down.

need some advice! so my fiancé and I asked his sister to be in our wedding party so we wouldn’t cause any rifts. She is older and still not married (which is completely fine!). However she is getting jealous and starting to ruin our wedding planning experience. We can’t uninvite her now but I don’t know how to handle her. I’m really close with all my other bridesmaids and I thought it would be easier to just keep her out of the loop until the time comes for the wedding and Bach?

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.
