I have a millionaire father who i currently live with who finds it difficult to simply give me an allowance of $200 a week.

When i was younger like 12 i remember him telling me that him, his wife, his work comes before me and my brother. any decision my step mother makes whether right or wrong he takes her side. i am a university student and already under pressure and he prefer i sleep in school to study than have one of my friends sleep over to study by me. we used to have such a gr8 relationship and since my aunt(his sister) died now we have none. everything i do or say is a problem til the point where i do not say anything at all and still he makes issues out of that. I have gone back to that dark hole where i prefer not dealing with the stress of life………:(

Sometimes, when our parents are rich, we mistakenly feel entitled to money. This shouldn’t be the case. I think you should try to be closer to your father and stop making mountains out of anthills. I’m not trying to attack you, but your complaint is a bit on the spoiled side.

i find it interesting that you say your relationship with your father has crumbled, yet the very first thing you focus on in this post is his money and lack of generosity with it toward you.
that probably says a lot about the real root of this problem, as araz says. just because he has money, doesnt mean you are entitled to it. there are hundreds of students the world over who dont even get $200 a week just given to them.

Poor baby. :/

My father gave me an allowance. It was the change portion of his paycheck (which changed each week). So if he was paid $1400.01, I got the penny! Yay me! :D I got 99cents one week and thought I had hit the lottery. I had a lot of chores to do each week. The funny thing is..I wasn’t asked or expected to do any of them. I just did things because they needed to be done and I wanted to take some of the load off my parents. I’m wondering…what chores do you tend to around the house/property? I’m sure you try to help out.

I doubt that your father had his million handed to him. He probably earned every penny of it the right way - he worked for it and invested wisely.

Is there some reason why you can’t get a job and earn your own money?

Yea, if she’s living with her dad at that age she should consider living with him (probably rent-free) her allowance.

None of you guys knows how my life has been……….my whole life has been a struggle. that post i put up erlier was just what i was going thru at that point in time. You all have made very foolish comments that hurt my feelings tremendously. here is just a brief of the trauma i have suffered in my life

1) at 7 or 8 i was molested by my cousin
2) also at that age til i was 14 or 15 i was molested by my brother as well
3) i had a mother constantly telling me that i was good for nothing and my brother always told me he had a fat siser and didn’t want to be seen in public with mewhist my mother agreed to his every word
4) i had an absent father who placed everything else before me…..a daughter who only wanted his acceptance and love
5) physical abuse by my mother (brutal beating til i bled, bruised)
6) thoughts of suicide
7) cutting
8) i would eat and throw up everytime and workout right after til i looked like a zombie in a month
9) i fought my way to stay alive and convince myself to work hard to get what i want
10) here i am with a father who yells at me for leaving the lights on after studying, who accuses me of being by a man at night when i amin school studying with a friend

thanks guys

Yea, that’s awful, but a lot of people have been through that and more but they still don’t expect their parents to give them $200 a week.

if ur father isn’t giving u an allowance then maybe getting a job is what u need to do…it may seem like a lot but it really is do able. I’m a full time student with a major and a minor and finsihing undergrad in 3 years and i still find time to work and i have a friend whos an engineering and comp sci major and he works 2 jobs. It seems really hard and sometimes it is, but when you work you can usually study and it makes u a better student in the long run.
it’s also easier to work when you have motivation…for example my friend is trying to get all his college loans paid back before he graduates.
working wont give you $200 a week, but atleast it’s something to buy groceries with. and it sounds stupid and cliche but remember you dont need to spend money to have fun with ur friends.

well im afraid thats life as a student. here everyone works and does full time study, with no support from their parents. i was working full time and studying full time, if you want the money then you just have to do it.
if you dont want to, then consider going part time at school and working.

being a student IS a hard slog, no ones denying that. but there are ways around it. youre at uni, so youre smart, try coming up with some ideas to make some passive income or starting your own business-dog walking is a great one or something similar.

we asked you questions at first but you didn’t answer so we had conversations with ourselves and jump to conclusions. i work part time right now and make about 400 every other week and 60 a week in tips. asking for money os way to easy and at your age should not be done and certainly not the forst choice just cuz it’s easier. life is tough and no one has a more special story than someone else but it’s in how you deal with it that makes the difference and earns you more respect. people are here to help but when we don’t get answers we just make jokes and talk to ourselves. you need to stop looking for the easy answer because it won’t get you very far. nobody said life would be easy but they said it would be worth it.

these are jokes like i said because you didn’t answer us and so we all just joke and have conversations with each other. quite common on here. we like to get friendly with certain people and so when we all end up on the same post with the same opinion we just make jokes. we didn’t want to hurt you and wouldn’t've but you were around so we just talked to each other. don’t take any offense to it. it doesn’t mean anything. the point was that you don’t need to ask for money because it is possible to provide for yourself and it’s hard but it’s supposed to be try not to take the easy answer in just asking to be given what you need. you control your life and your destiny and that’s what we want you to do. we just sound rude when we’re joking so sorry. some of us don’t offer sympathy to those who ask because we’d rather give what is actually needed but it doesn’t mean we don’t try and help. it wasn’t personal and it can’t be on here because nobody really knows anybody on here. remember that. nothing can be personal on here. you control your happiness.

your troubles are not a thing to laugh at
i know all to well
your pathetic reaction and lack of ability is something i can sympathise with as i also am pathetic
or maby less than pathetic

put your expectation that others will baby you and pay you special attention , sympathy, and moeny is outright stupid
you are nothing special and you deserve no special benifits
get over it grow up and deal with it

if you’re having trouble looking for a job become a babysitter its a good way to get work down well getting paid because kids go to bed early. Alot of people in college babysit. also remember everybody their freshman year is in the exact same boat. they’re all running out or have ran out of money except alot of them have to pay their tuition and rent and board as well.
Schools often offer career services check to see if they have a website where you can post your resume. alot of job seekers look for people on there. just dont be picky with your job you gotta take what you can get.

if your dad doesnt give you any money, then he really has no say in what type of job you get. if he laughs at you for waitressing, simply tell him you wouldnt be doing it if he was more generous with the cash, and at least youre earning your own way.

I’m sorry that life has been so tough for you. I wasn’t making fun of you or attacking you. My response was based on what I read in your post.

I think after everything your family has put you through you should not expect anything from them. If your father isn’t going to help you financially in any way, try your best to make it on your own. You will be able to say you did it yourself!

thanks for the little few that spoke positive things to me……

for people like puck and calemus………u guys need to be more sympathic to others feelings and traumas in life that u know only little about.

your stupid remarks u may think is a joke….may actually depress someone to the point where they commit suicide. even to u may not know the person and the person may not know u……..its not nice.

you do not deserve to be commenting on this site.

again thanks to those who were positive ….it was greatly appreciated:)

I’m glad you appreciated my help (if your appreciation was aimed towards me!) and I hope I could help. I do want to stick up for Puck though! I’ve known her for awhile now and she really didn’t mean any harm. She’s a tough gal and she was just basing her response off the initial post! She’s a great mod and she really deserves to be on this website. Don’t take what she said the wrong way. She was just giving her honest opinion.

thanks for the little few that spoke positive things to me……

for people like puck and calemus………u guys need to be more sympathic to others feelings and traumas in life that u know only little about.

your stupid remarks u may think is a joke….may actually depress someone to the point where they commit suicide. even to u may not know the person and the person may not know u……..its not nice.

you do not deserve to be commenting on this site.

again thanks to those who were positive ….it was greatly appreciated:)

Just because we were honest and said things you didn’t want to hear, doesn’t mean it wasn’t helpful and I’m not going to take responsibility for someone committing suicide. If they commit suicide after reading a remark I made on their post then they had deeper issues than anyone on here could’ve helped them with.

Ummm…maybe we would’ve been more helpful if you hadn’t titled your post with “I have a millionaire father who i currently live with who finds it difficult to simply give me an allowance of $200 a week” once we read that it’s really hard for anyone to not laugh. I’m sorry.

If you wanted seriouse help then you should have made a serious post.

You basically made a post describing something that is not the issue first and then when people picked up on that fact you then went into further detail about being abused when you were younger when so far, the problem you wanted help with is that you are low on funds.

What has being low on funds got to do with a rich father and abuse?

If you want to sob story then I can give you one, I have more than enough to top what you have described but then that is not the point is it?
This is not a competition and it is not about who can have the biggest pitty party either.

You asked for help in a rather bizarre way, people took it as a troll post because let’s face it, your started it off wrong but rather than explaining the post and what you actually need you just attacked everyone for not being able to read your mind.

Do you want help or not!?!
If so, make a new post and this time don’t be an *******

i know ppl have been through worse

but this is my life my story my trauma

Again………….everyone say i am spoil and about this money issue….but all that are on ur mind is the money……..take the time to read and ask questions abt ppl life than just judging ppl

and i didn’t take it down becuse i want to prove a point that even though i explained that i have been abused that ppl still see the issue of money. Money is all that ppl is concerned abt than abuse ppl go thru

I am not looking for PITTY as u put it……i was down and very depressed and needed an outlet to get advice from ….that is all to it…..u do not know me and u do not know what i fight for everyday of my life.

so stop pointing fingers and instead of saying negative things look for positive things to say because this is a HELP site

have a blessed day……….i will pray for u all

Many of the people on this thread tried to help you. Try thanking them. Some might not have been what you were looking for, but they were trying to help in their own way.

I’d shovel horse pooh to provide for my family. It doesn’t have to be pleasant or meet some specific criteria to be able to give you satisfaction. Take the money. Work anywhere. Gross jobs usually pay best. Do those. If your dad doesn’t approve, too bad. You’ll just need to tell him that you are trying hard to succeed.

I have read about your troubles. I’m with Lazy on this one. I could be you hands down. I never had allowance. In fact, I was lucky to get food. I didn’t have much in the way of clothing. Went to school in -36 weather with snow to my knees, and plastic bags over two sets of socks in a pair of rubber boots. for years. We never had money. I don’t expect it from anybody. I do what *I* can. You should, too.

Do your best and don’t worry about doing what’s considered to be “best” for somebody else. Life’s not easy, but following somebody else and trying to exceed their standards will never work. Make your own. As long as you can follow three rules, your life should be easy. 1)Be nice to people. 2) Do what you are asked to do, when you are asked to do it, and 3) don’t lie. Most things can be solved with those three things. Best of Luck.

Am I right in thinking that perhaps people have jumped to conclusions and assumed you are in the States and referring to US dollars?

“we are not as privilaged here than in the states………it is not that easy. we do not have dollar meals at burger king or kfc or whatever.”

I’m slightly confused, so please humor me. You have a problem with getting a job and making money to support going to college and some have given advice on it, good advice I may add. So, is there another problem? Do you want to talk about your relationship with your father to get advice on how to get closer to him? I wouldn’t know how to motivate someone to give others money, but I may know how to help with a genuine relationship.

i have tried everything i know to get closer to him……..when my aunt was sick last year with cancer it was my dad and i who was always by her side…..we were so close………when she died he just turned……i wouldn’t entirely say him alone i know in some way i have to ……..but talking to my father is the most difficult thing……

i will express how i feel to him and if he don’t agree he simply tells u he don’t care and he shouts which makes things worst………..i even caught him blaming me for something i didn’t do which my stepmother probably told him i did……..i reached to the point where i just give up

I think seeing a counsellor would definitely be a good idea.

It may also be worth asking about a scholarship or bursary. They may be able to allocate something if your study record has been good so far.

It sounds like your father has been struggling since the death of your aunt. It can happen that grief causes people to become irrational, and apparently hard/tough. A kind of self-protection mechanism can kick in and others bear the brunt of it.

I think the most sensible way forward is to keep looking for opportunities to work. Perhaps ask your father to help find you a part-time job to boost your income. He may have contacts who might be looking for gardening work or pool cleaning or something? By approaching him with a different slant on things, you may find that he warms to you better.

If you have a skill think about offering tuition. You may be able to help parents with their child’s schoolwork for example?

i have been asking my father for over a year to help me get something because he do know ppl……no attempt have been made……i know that he have been grieving and i understand that so have i …..but even when i was younger i remember him telling me that everything else comes before his children. hhimself, his wife and his work comes first.

thtis something i have tried to overcome. he despises my mother and ppl have told me that he probably takes it out on me seeing that i resemble her so much. my parents have been in battle with eachother since i was a baby…….all my life i had to choose one over the other…..i never wanted such a life:(

Well, I think you have to accept that things are unlikely to change in that case and move toward making your own life. Keep telling yourself to study hard, push yourself and find a route out of that sort of overbearing control.

Make some flyers, knock on doors and do what you can to pick up work here and there. See the counsellor and ask what possibilities are open to you.

Good luck.

i agree with lady. alot of us on this site are understanding and helpful but you’ve taken offense and that’s fine if it’s your point of view but you say you’re not asking for pitty and yet you go on and on and on and on about how hard your life is everyday. you’re not in the midst of a war, in prison, starved and being molested and yatta yatta yatta and you outright asked to be sympathetic when i already said we will not because that is not what is needed. you are simply complaining about life which all of the rest of us live equally and deal with it. like i said, nobody said it would be easy but they said it would be worth it. things will get better but you need to start being positive and believing in yourself and stop expecting people to be overly sympathetic because otherwise you will always be disappointed and there will be nothing we can do to encourage you.
