re: Funny story about my liberal daughter.

quote:

---

I was paying for her car, car insurance, health insurance, cell phone, and giving her a $500 dollar “allowance “ every month, while my parents kicked in $2500 per semester from a College fund they had established when she was little.

When kids have everything handed to them, they start hanging out with other kids who have everything handed to them.

If kids have to work while in college, the cool liberal kids won't want to hang out with them.

This is from ChatGPT:

“The brain is mostly developed by age 25, but not completely. The prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and reasoning—continues maturing into the mid-20s. However, brain plasticity, learning ability, and changes in neural connections continue throughout life. So while 25 is a general benchmark for full structural development, the brain remains adaptable and capable of change well beyond that age.”

So…. maybe there’s hope your daughter will change. I was a liberal in college… but
…joining the army after graduation (I was about to be drafted) opened my eyes.

People do change. Maybe your daughter will. Don’t give up on her. Good luck.

My daughter got a full ride, academic scholarship to college and made straight A’s, through her undergraduate and masters programs. I think she was fulfilling her end of the bargain. She had a job from 15 until she graduated from HS. School WAS her job. My son on the hand decided not to go to College and has become a rockstar in Sales, buying his first home and truck at age 20. He makes 85k a year due to his work ethic. I’m sorry my daughter didn’t wait tables or bartend, like you would have preferred, she was fulfilling her agreement with her mom and I and preparing for the rest of her life. She makes 6 figures at 25 and is successful career wise. I told that story earlier in response to a guy that was going through some similar hurdles that I’ve gone through in my life, due to Colleges and woke liberal peer pressure. Showing empathy, in hopes that he might learn something from my mistakes. Not to you, who enjoys cherry picking a hopeful story into your “lesson “ that you feel that you need to teach me about raising my kids. Work ethic has NEVER been the problem. Oh and btw, take your sanctimonious opinion that doesn’t relate to ANYTHING that was being discussed and shove it up your azz.

My guy, you go out of your way to post about your own daughter and then laugh about her losing her job to Doge.

You may want to do some soul searching and ask yourself if the estrangement is due to politics or that you actually may be a shitehead (just using your daughter’s language here).

immature 20-something’s say stupid, regrettable things all the time.

No, they don't.

Mine don't.

You know why? Because I taught them with my actions that doing so was not o.k., which is exactly what he should do. Actually, he should have done it before now, but what's done is done.

If your "20-somethings" are immature, that's your parenting fail.

quote:

---

This parent made the decision to punish and control with money.

---

No, he didn't. He made the decision to respect his adult daughter's wishes.

I don't know why you cucks can't read that the daughter is the one who ended the relationship, not the dad.

quote:

---

Something they were willing to provide before letting politics ruin the relationship.

---

No, moron, SHE allowed politics to ruin the relationship. His decision was not rooted in politics at all.

Yes, that's the problem. I agree with that part, and told him so many pages ago. That's why the daughter is acting like she's 5 instead of 25. You've already admitted that your grown kids act like brats too, and you'd think you would be able to figure out that that is the common denominator in both cases.

What is funny is that you never hear this happening the other way. When a conservative kid has Liberal parents, or when a kid goes off to college and realizes he’s been lied to his/her whole life and becomes a common sense conservative, you never read about them disowning their liberal parents. You never hear about them essentially “cursing out“ their parents for being evil and wanting them out of their lives.

Why is it that it never works the opposite way?



That's a rhetorical question for anyone who has common sense. Of course, that excludes liberals, Marxists, socialists, or whatever the f*ck you want to call them.

quote:

It's embarrassing and pathetic for the two of them to engage with each other like this.

---

What the f*ck do you want him to do? Do you think he should keep financially supporting her after she told him to F*CK OFF and she doesn’t want or need anything from him and doesn’t want him in her life?

Surely, you can’t be that f*cking stupid.

What the f*ck do you want him to do?

What he should do is continue to reach out to her. Be a father and not just when times are easy. Don't be a fricking quitter. She doesn't want his money... fine. That's easy. Don't stop being a father. He chose that route years ago. Being a piggy ban does not make you a father. He and no one else chooses to live a bubble of his own making. He's made the determination that losing a daughter over a difference of opinion, in this case politics, is acceptable. How do I know this:

quote:

---

I don't have much of a relationship with my lib daughter

---

quote:

---

We had hardly been communicating for the last couple years because we have such differing views.

---

quote:

---

She's my kid so I don't think I could ever let her completely crash and burn, but it will literally have to be a life or death situation for me to send her more money.

---

He's the adult in this relationship. She's the ignorant kid. Be a leader and continue to talk with her on a regular basis. Make the attempt at the very least. It's far better than what he has been doing. The relationship is already strained and choosing to have limited communication will only further justify in her mind that he's a prick and doesn't give a shite. Maybe he is and maybe he isn't. But silence isn't golden in these situations. Talk through it and mend the relationship. It may take years... but it's worth the time to get your baby back.

Or continue down this path of mutual destruction that everyone will regret years from now. It isn't worth it in the long run when the solutions are simple: communication, listening and understanding.

quote:

---

What he should do is continue to reach out to her.

You couldn’t be more f*cking wrong. She’s a fricking adult and she has to f*cking learn. He can’t keep coddling her all her life while she sh!ts on him and hates him.

---

She doesn't want his money

But she will.
