Entitled couple confront father over house payment, refuse to see him: 'We do need to... save every penny'

You can only expect money from your family for so long, but once you're an adult, you're basically on your own. Unless you come from a wealthy family, you probably haven't gotten any huge handouts from Mom and Dad.

In many high schools across America, there are kids who will get cars for their 16th birthday, flaunting their wealth for everyone else to jealously admire. Some kids receive second-hand cars from their parents, but I bet there was at least one kid in your high school who got a brand-new car with a giant ribbon on the front. Of course, not everyone can appreciate their parent's money. Many people just grew up expecting the best of everything. When they get out of high school and into the real world, they realize that they've been a bit sheltered, and that they actually have to work very hard to earn money.

Now imagine that instead of a car, you're grown up and married, and you're waiting for your parent to buy you a house. This would be a huge luxury, right? You'd be thanking your parents endlessly for even offering… right? Maybe you would, but not everyone feels that level of gratitude, as u/Leading_Rock_418 shared in their story.

Up next, read about the trad with whose husband informed her that "his" business isn't shared with her: "I told him I have a meticulous record."

"AITA for 'punishing' my family by no longer doing birthdays, holidays, vacations because my Dad sc***ed me and my wife over?"

After reading this story, many people were decidedly miffed at this person, not their dad. Many were baffled that this person thought their dad was to blame. After all, Dad still shelled out the money, and it's still going towards this person's goal of getting a home. Just because this person doesn't have all of the finances in order, doesn't mean that their Dad is some kind of manipulative bad guy. Commenters didn't go easy on this person, and gave them a stark reality check.
