People have to keep telling him to shut up so that he doesn't recommend giving some other person trench-foot as well. Depression sucks, but I think he's also a moron. Anyone who takes an amputees advice on keeping your feet anything at all should probably expect to lose their own.

The reddit attitude is pretty beepboop "Boyfriend < College Education; action is sub-optimal" and someone actually said they're glad they got the haircut their dad demanded because otherwise they would've had to take out student loans. Gross!

At some point fighting that fight is absolutely necessary but if the two options are get your hair cut or pay for your own education, find me some clippers. Tell your Dad to pound sand after the checks clear. I fully understand that it's easy to say that and there will always be another "do as I say for another financial reward" but that might be the world's most expensive mop-top.

That's the thing, the haircut isn't a haircut, it's a life long commitment to whatever job, city, house, car, spouse your parents choose for you. Once you've taught your parents, your boss, your spouse, etc that they can control you with "Do as I say for another financial reward" they'll keep doing it. I'm with you on "I would cut my hair for $10,000" as an objective statement, though.

A 21 year old college student dating a 33 year old with a kid is just asking for drama of all the worst kinds. If we're going to take the half plus seven rule to heart, a 33 year old should not be dating anyone younger than 23. I could not imagine being in my 30's and dating a college student, that would drive me nuts. Usually if a guy is that old and dating someone that young then they're just a creep. I should say that the parents are going way overboard by cutting off their daughter, and it's an extreme rear end in a top hat move that will probably isolate her from the parents for a long long time. GWM for the parents though, now they get to spend all that college money on themselves.

The parents think if this guy had a kid with one woman and then left her then he's going to do the same with their daughter. The age difference is bad, but the fact there's a baby mama out there sealed it. They don't want her to be a 23 year old single mother. I can't really blame them although they are going about this in the worst way possible.

There's also the fact that the dude had an arrest-worthy unpaid ticket hanging around. That doesn't happen by accident. Of course the parents went about this the worst way possible, since cutting off a young person involved with a probably-creepy older person is a good way to feed into their "the world is against us, nobody understands us, I need to stick with them no matter what" complex.

Not saying that her parents are right. But I'd bet a lot of money that her life would end up a lot better if she listened to her parents on this one. She sounds like an idiot, honestly. Who gets involved with that poo poo at age 23? Edit: Also, no normal person has unpaid traffic tickets. This dude is obviously hosed up. potatoducks fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Feb 22, 2018 |

No, but that's what the parents see. He could be a great guy and terrific father who just couldn't make it work with the mother. who goes out of his way to take care of his son, but they see a guy whose already had one kid and broken up with the child's mother and here he is sniffing around their daughter. It's an emotional reaction, but kind of valid.

The arrest thing is definitely worrisome and a sign that our narrator is not very reliable. I don't think the police would show up at a moment's notice on request for some ticket deadbeat. And how did the parents find out about the ticket? I feel like the girl made that part up.

Jordan7hm posted:She’s 23 not 13. It is fair to point out that college students are still children, for the most part. A 21 year old with 3 years life experience out of high school is nothing at all like a 21 year old wrapping up their Junior Year of college. And hey, this girl is a college dropout with no work experience now, so it's a perfect match for an ancient 33 year old with a laundry list of ex wifes and neglected children.

Haifisch posted:And they literally are inescapable - it's almost impossible to remove a home from an HOA. As in, 'so hard that sometimes the only way to do it is dismantling the entire HOA.' Well of course it is, they are designed to permanently replace the function and expense of city government operations and code enforcement in the subdivisions they serve. What motivation would other homeowners ever have to let somebody out of a homeowner's association if they benefit from the mutually maintained spaces? To see that they have to function as virtually permanent encumbrances on the title for that reason. Again the reason they exist is so that other people like you and me who don't live in that subdivision don't have to pay to maintain their poo poo. The examples of over-reach are just a phenomenon of personal pettiness and power seeking that exist in all similar organizations with minimal or uninterested accountability whether you call them governments or associations or clubs or sex parties or whatever.

Pretty normal for a male of "women my age can't safely have kids anymore age" to be attracted to younger women Specific to this guy, he sounds like he has problems if he's got Priors that can get the police to the house within a few minutes, but 21 year old women aren't lil baby children that need protecting from 33 year old predators.

In that thread she said the parents were mad because the guy was supposed to be with his kids one day but blew it off to hang out with the dumb girl. Then he got mysteriously arrested on a "ticket thing" which I would guess was actually back child support or something. If I were her parents I would probably try something similar, because how else do you get your idiot daughter to leave that loser?

Dress it up however you want, but older guys don't just go for 21 year olds because of boobs but also because they are still naive and don't have much experience of adult relationships or responsibilities, so it easy to manipulate them. She's not a baby, but she's been entirely supported by her parents until now. Older men who prey on naive younger people are gross and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise just because "lol boobies". That they happen to be attracted to them doesn't somehow make it any less sleazy

Lol, my sister was basically told those exact words when she told her OBGYN she wanted to start having kids at 34. I'm also assuming that this 33 year old wouldn't meet a lady and give birth to a baby 24 hours later. They'd probably date 1-2 years, plan a wedding 1 year in the future, enjoy married life for maybe 1 year, and bam the 33 year old he met the day he started looking is now 37 when they decide to have kids. "High risk geriatric pregnancy" is not fun
