my parent ask me for money, I need advice

Self induced? No
Something out of their control? The sky is the limit.

Yup, I now have to take my mother to shops and constantly prevent her from airing her opinions to people who dont want or deserve them.
I can now see where I get in from.
I might have to chain myself to the bannisters in the upcoming years

For the first part of our lives our parents take care of us, and for the second part we have to take care of them already

The interesting part of that is the kids are having kids later in life so sometimes caring for teens a parents goes hand in hand.

I don’t think gambling will solve your issues, but I’ve been surprised before. It may distract you from your actual problems.

do you think a child's feelings about their parent should influence the amount of support they offer their aging parent?












i’d push back hard on the gambling suggestions in here; quick money ideas usually turn into bigger holes. when parents ask for money, i found it helps to set a clear limit and offer help with budgeting or bills directly instead of handing over cash. i even had a relative send me https://lightning-storm-game.com/ during a rough patch and it just felt gross and distracting, not helpful. taking care of parents is real, but it shouldn’t mean sacrificing your own stability.

Tough spot—many say base help on past treatment and your own finances, not guilt. Glad you found a plan that works for both. Prioritize your boundaries.
