How to deal with a parent trying to mooch off you?

[semtex]

my pops asked me for $1300

For a goddamn TV

If he was sick or in some sort of trouble I'd help no doubt, but a fukkin TV :cb: that ain't no damn emergency.

I just graduated college last year got loans and shyt to pay off.

I ain't gonna put all his business out there but dude has always been horrible with money and has shytty credit.

Has anyone else had to deal with this?

 

[Ashley Banks]

Can't say that I have. Just tell him no, tell him you can only take care of yourself right now.

Sounds like my dad with gambling problems....he's knows better now.

You must have started a new job or something where he knows you're caking?

I am sure nikka felt the same way when your punk ass used to ask him for playstations, Jordan's and all the other shyt you liked as a kid. Help the nikka out and buy him his new TV or at least drop some money for it and explain how things are tight for you at current.

at putting his business out there like any of us know him

what i usually do with fam is give them a hundred dollar borrowing limit, and as long as they dont pay me back, they cant ask me for anything else...
i would go on craigslist and find a cheap one, tell him its a fathers day gift, and call it a day. if he doesn't like it, hit him with the and keep it moving

Id just research and find a similar tv of quality for a better deal. Dude old. Old ppl dont know how to bargain shop. I spoil the fukk outta my mom when reasonable.

You aint get there by urself

 

[Rawtid]

Say no and don't feel bad about it.

 

[Jesus]

Yeah I'd hook him up with a $100 down payment and KIM....

"Been working almost a year now"
(You live at home still?)

Move out
You're on quite the slippery slope right now.
You live in another man's house complaining about him mooching off of you.

First, don't tell your folks what you make. Second, cry poor mouth. Ish is expensive. You don't have any extra money your darn self. Third, if you can, set aside a set amount of funds that you're willing to give away. Don't tell anyone that you do this or how much. But when it's gone, it's gone. That's it.
