My Dad is seeing someone but thats not the problem...

aggierocker · 04-17-2006, 05:36 PM

The problem is, he's taking her out to eat and taking her to these concerts and going to Louisiana to gamble, when I've got college to pay for. I'm working at the sametime, getting paid minimum wage. I just paid off a 500 dollar credit card so I could have good credit.

I just found out today, that I'm blocked from registering for classes because my dad didn't pay one of the bills for the loans. Another thing, these loans are so stupid. I thought I didn't have them until after I graduate.

I don't mind him cheating on my mom, but c'mon don't spend it all on the *****. For **** sake, she has a 2 year old son and she doesn't know how to spend her money, so dad loans her money sometimes also.

Am I jealous? Am I selfish? Probably because I'm in need right now. I want to go to college. I want to get an education. I want to become an archaeologist. I just switched my major today and I found this bull**** out.

The only thing I can do right now is raise $2700 to pay off the 2 loans, so I can register for classes.

All I need is money, then everything would be great.

So well put. Just blackmail your dad, and you're on easy street.
If he can't cough up some cash, you could always work your way through college.

Good thing you can overlook him cheating on your mother. Some guys would be narrow-minded about that.

Dude, I'm working right now. I get 150 dollar pay checks every 2 weeks. That's hard to live on, pay for college, cell phone, and truck. I don't know if I'm ready for a 2nd job right now.

Have you talked to him? Does he know you can't register until he pays?

aggierocker · 04-17-2006, 05:50 PM

Yeah, I just got off the phone with him. He said he talked to the financial debt guy here, and he can work out another payment plan, but I don't know if it will get me unblocked.

Gosh. One scarcely knows where to begin. Well, I'll just say it seems you don't have much respect for either one of your parents (especially if you say you don't mind your mother is being cheated on). So, how much respect can you have for yourself if you feel you're entitled to money from someone you don't even respect?

I'm sorry. But yeah, you do sound selfish. And pretty darn callous. Oh, and petulant. You're making $150 every two weeks? That can't be anywhere near close to full-time, I'm failing to see how you could not handle a second job.

At any rate, other people have paid their way through college without the support of their parents. Maybe if you give it a try it will help you build some much needed character.

I don't like my mom because she's crazy and forces religion on me. Everytime she talks to me on the phone she brings up her damn religion on me. I just go with the flow...

I admire my dad because he's done a lot of things. I've found myself wanting to do the things he's wanted to do in life, and I have that opportunity. It's just sometimes I feel like he's making some bad mistakes, like seeing another girl. He's cheated on my mom before and my mom found out. They stayed together because of me. Hell, all of his family cheated. My late grandfather has been through 8 marriages.

I'm the first on my dad's side of the family to go to college.

Admit it. Selfishness is human nature. Once we starve to death, we will eat our friends for our own survival.

Its not like I'm selfish all the time. I'm devoting a lot of my time to student organizations that help the world with poverty and commmunity service.
