24 y/o with a teaching job.

No real income is what she has. Probably on top of a shitton student debt.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 117 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Don't forget how much money she spends on classroom supplies for her "not real kids"!

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 86 points 2 months ago

Apparently she doesn't have a good parent either.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"no real bills" I'd believe...if the parent said she lived at home (no rent, and food provided), was on parents' insurance (health, auto, etc.), had no student debt, and was walking distance to work.

But given that her parent didn't, I'd guess that isn't the case. Turns out rent, food, transportation, and like you said, student debt, are all...what's the word...real bills?

"no real kids"

"no real bills"

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

the fact that he added "real" to both means she has them but he somehow doesn't consider them real, whatever the fuck that means. but this sounds like a total piece of shit and i feel sorry for the 24 year old.

nothing like ruining the economy and the future for the next generation and then refusing to help.

what does "no real kids" and "no real bills" mean?

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 62 points 2 months ago

Pets and "only" bills related to the daughter and her everyday life.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And I'd bet "real bills" are only bills that the parent deems worthy


mortgage, car payment, etc. I'm guessing teacher pays rent, utilities, pays for groceries...

[-] fatboy93@lemm.ee 66 points 2 months ago

The fuck does no real bills mean? Does eating, rent and gas/insurance not count as real bill?

[-] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 40 points 2 months ago

Forget the bills, why does she clarify no real kids?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 23 points 2 months ago

Pets, or the more grotesque option, step-children.

More importantly what does no real kids mean?

Step kids? Only daughters? Just pets?

You know what, i kinda agree. Eating, rent, transport, etc shouldnt be real bills. A teacher 100% should be able to pay for those easily.

She only has fake kids and fake bills

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I bet it was because she is not married and has kids. The conservative mind ladies and gentleman and in betweens.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

It's her students

[-] trumpetmouth@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago

Dammit Mom, my 56 imaginary kids cost me nearly my ENTIRE paycheck! Have some sympathy.

But for real, what is "real kids?"

[-] yuri@pawb.social 29 points 2 months ago

because she’s a teacher she probably pays out of pocket for school/project supplies. i’ve known a good few teachers, and refereeing to students as sort-of surrogate children is very common. i’d put my money on the mom hassling the daughter about not yet having kids, and the daughter saying something like “i already have kids!” and this idiot is still bitter about it because she feels she is OWED grandchildren.

i’m making a LOT of assumptions here, but like i said i WOULD put money on it. you hear enough firsthand stories and you start making these sort of assumptions.

Sounds like she’s bitter that she hasn’t been given the grandchildren she thinks she is owed.

I wonder if this lady will ever realize the politicians she votes for (come on, we know which party) are why her daughter with one of the most importsnt jobs in the entire world can't afford to see. Probably not.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 39 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
  1. Teaching is a real job, probably one of the hardest
  2. Your daughter is fucking blind, and you're laughing at her? You are slime
[-] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago
  1. Being a teacher usually requires a Master's degree. She very probably has student debt.

Why does she say no real kids? Did she adopt or something and the mom is crazy?

[-] keyez@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Probably has a pet or two and doesn't want any "real" kids so they don't end up acting like their parents...

[-] AprilShowers 10 points 2 months ago

My fifth grade teacher never had any kids, and considered us as her children. Maybe something like that is what she is referring to?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Dude this is like every post on the estranged parents sub on reddit... they really are oblivious to the fact that their kids have good reasons to hate them

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 31 points 2 months ago

It wouldn’t occur to me to broadcast this to others on the internet, especially with personal details, even for a random solicitor, let alone a family member, let alone my own child.

And since the kid didn’t anticipate the public ridicule, it may very well be the first time they ever asked for this kind of help. What an awful way to learn your parent considers you little more than an expendable prop in their social life.

In nature, some species prey upon their young. We usually understand this as an evolutionary mechanism, to ensure only the strongest offspring survive. With that in mind, if your parent behaves like this, consider that they may no longer be your caregiver, and it may be time for you to decide what it takes to be the offspring that survives.

"No one has audacity like the people you raised" proceeds to post about it to potentially millions of people, you know like people without audacity do.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Someone tell them "i think i raised an entitled shit" isn't the pwn they think it is

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Remember when our parents told us social media is bad? Here it is, they are exactly why.

[-] SasquatchCosmonaut@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

To be fair you can get a pair of glasses on Zenni for like 20 bucks.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago
[-] SasquatchCosmonaut@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I've been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.

The biggest child in the room is that pain in the ass of a parent.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

My daughter that is under-paid because she's a teacher and they are all under-paid is asking me for financial help, and I'm a scumbag outing her for trying to have a better quality of life with a medical procedure early in her working career.

Man, I hate the internet sometimes...

[-] Kalysta@lemm.ee 20 points 1 month ago

Wouldn’t it have been nice to get Bernie’s medicare for all, with vision and dental coverage, so people fresh out of college with their likely first real job don’t need to ask their shitty ass parents for help?

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It would be nice if boomers and older Gen Xers would stop cashing out and then blaming millennials and zennials for the inflation being out of control and the economy not being the monolith it was in the 1980's. You know, the 80's during which that little tech boom thing happened right around the time a famous actor got elected president and immediately started de-regulating everything under the sun so that huge corporations could start squeezing employees and consumers like the chattel they are, thereby inflating the value of goods, services, and land.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Why would people want to be on Twitter for posts like this?

It's like joining a real life club where the more of a jerk you are, the more speaking time you get.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

same reason people still watch reality tv

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

This is bad form all around... like, yeah, be a parent and love your kids more than yourself.

Even if you are incapable of that, at least be smart enough to not be shitty to the people who will pick your nursing home.

How dare a family member ask for help. Who do they think they are?

[-] ronflex@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I only pay made-up fake bills, no real ones

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Wanting Lasik surgery doesn't mean she's blind, she just doesn't want to wear glasses anymore. It's a vanity thing.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Not necessarily a vanity thing, it's also a pain in the ass and a life long expense. Do you know how many times I've woken up and found my glasses fell some where and I can't find them? Or the screws loosened and a lense fell out while I'm out doing something? And a pair of glasses can run you anywhere from $200-$800+ every few years, let alone the optometrist appointments to get your prescription updated.
