What’s worse is people with a dead beat spouse. We had to let a young girl go a couple of months ago. She had promise and this was a great opportunity for her. Unfortunately her dead beat boyfriend kept causing her issues.
He’d show up at the office To eat lunch with her and was loud and obnoxious. I’m not sure he even had a job.
We made a company policy that non employees weren’t allowed in the office during business hours. He took it personal I guess. Not sure if he thought she was cheating on him while at work, but he’d show up randomly and just sit outside in his car eyeing people coming in and out.
We addressed her directly about it, but it never stopped so we just had to let her go.

Did he have a short life?

My mom thinks it's her place to try and fix the lives of her shitty siblings and random cousins and the like. Her sister lives with her now. I remember when I was a kid that she would take in relatives and friends all the time to try and help them out. Most ended up staying for very extended amounts of time and nearly all ended up bad. Like one of her cousins stole something like $7k worth of jewelry from her. One friend ended up having to go through the legal eviction process because she just wouldn't leave or get a job. It's sad. My brother and I have had numerous talks with her about it over the years. I really start to worry about it now with her getting up in age and her mental function has started to decline. But she won't hear any of it. She claims she likes to "help people".
No good deed goes unpunished.

In their defense. They will be in the same nursing homes that are paid that people saved for.

Sounds like she will still be a nurse without the student debt

I have a girl that works for me who is extremely smart and hard working. She just got into nursing school. All that is probably going to go down the drain because she has to take care of her parents (who are in their 50s) like they are babies. She also has to support other worthless family members.

They need to talk to a counselor about learning to set healthy boundaries if they’re allowing anyone to run/control their adult lives. Life is short and a gift. It’s great to love and offer some care to adult family members but not when it takes over your entire life. That’s not living.
Great advice Walt

No, she doesn’t. It’s her life. She can make her own decisions.
More than that, how does someone quit a job and also take on additional support responsibilities? Either she didn't actually need the job to begin with (doubtful), or now she has access to daddy's bank account "to ensure he is properly taken care of."
Also, the kind of care that requires 24/7 availability, is generally not the kind of care that just anyone can provide. 99% of these "have to quit to take care of someone" cases are bs.

Thank you conservatives for our shitty, price gouged healthcare system that makes situations like this necessary
Your generation continues to screw over your kids with your archaic politics. Congratulations

Today, I just had another girl that works for me out in her notice that she has to quit to take of her father who has some health issues (he is also young and has a perfectly cable fiance).
At first I thought I was reading about what happened last week on Shameless.
It sucks that series is a true story.

agree, my sister(lawyer/CPA/engineer,) might be the one exception that I've heard of, when my dad began to show signs of dementia/Alzheimer's she quit her job at a big firm in DC to come back and oversee the shutdown of his business, which was pretty big and had quite a few big jobs in progress, she was knowledgeable about his business and the contracts that he was under and was successful in having all jobs completed and handled my parents finances/health care until the end, my other sister, to this day, tells everyone that will listen that it was she that did all of that

MIL tries to control her kids lives. Guilt trips them into going places they don't want to go. Tried it with me once and I told her I wasn't her child. She still tries to control them but she doesn't come at me stupid.

Why does she have to take care of her 50 y/o parents like they were babies? Were they in an accident or something? Give us a little context for Christ sake.
I bet you 2-1 there's more 50y/o's are bailing out their useless kids than kids taking care of their 50y/o parents...

I had members in my family who were similar. They saw it as "I took care of you when you were young, now take care of me now that I am old." I totally understand the elderly having needs, but people in the situations you described should not be guilt tripping their children.
When my parents divorced my grandmother started lecturing my sister that she has to make sure he is eating right, make sure the house is maintained and homely, and take a greater role of responsibility in the family. Grandma saw her as taking the place of his ex. After a few lectures my sister was having none of that and would fire back every time it was discussed.
Some parents are just demanding of their children. Others are jealous of children who are more successful than they were and want payback in some sort of way.
I would be so proud of my children if they become more successful than we did. To me that's the point of having a family. My dream is to create generational wealth.
