Yesterday I went and had Dad's taxes done... and that made me rather mad. His income is more than 60% more than I make and I have to fight him to pay for anything. If I made what he made he would not have to work. His money is blown and he refuses direct deposit so I can see what is going on. I told him fifths heart thing goes well I'm saying down his debt and making him by things for the house instead of me. I dont like getting mad right now as I dont know how next week will be... but I am still feeling used.

News on the sister is that their car is in the shop. It started leaking on Friday. Leaking? What? Gas? Good grief. I said that it would be okay if they came out later. She didn't comment on that. She said that they may rent a car. They are going to need to buy a car soon. Rent a car for 6 to 8 weeks, plus a hotel? (I guess Im the only poor one as I have to keep a crappy job to be at the hospital... yeah... mad...yeah). I called my Dad to tell him what is going on and to ask if my sister's partner could drive his car while they are here. I suggested that they rent a car to come out, dump it and drive Dad's car, and then rent a car to go back. It may save them money. I also offered the big empty house again to save them money if they have to buy a car. I can close the cat out of my apartment and vacuum everything. She said she would think about it. I know she won't, but I offered.

I wanted to say why dont you just take the money you will be blowing and send it here to hire someone to watch dad when he comes home... at least that person would be here...that would be mean. I'm annoyed... and I still really haven't got a handle on just what is going to happen. That and I am exhausted.

I hope you can take a day soon just for yourself. ♥

I know the pain of having to rent a vehicle for a whole Summer.
Your sister is an idiot. :o :o :o

I don't think it's wrong to expect your dad to start spending his money. :o
Hugs, Jon

UGH, again, the out of control spending sounds just like the guy at the museum I'm with. I don't care if he's 86 and he's trying to spend as much as he can, he;'s wasting his money on $20,000 bibles and shit that we don't have any room for, and, objects that do not generate any kind of revenue to keep the museum going. Meanwhile we're facing $100,000 roof & HVAC repair bill and he refuses to put any money towards it.

It's driving me nuts.

I just don't understand where these 70-80 year old men got all this money from and spending it on things but pitch a hissy fit when it comes to paying real-life bills and rent and such. The whole time they've been screaming at us whipper-snappers about spending money on coffee and avocado toast and there they are spending $16,000 on amazon in 3 months on stuff. AARRRGHH!!

Yeah, do whatever you can, use whatever leverage you can get, to make him pay for reality like having a GD room over (his) head.

Boomers are going to Boom. They believe that by buying things they are Mr. Big.

Yuuuuup.

Or like times when (you) try to pay or buy something and they freak out and say things like NO I INSIST.
Oh please.

Mom frequently said "they spend a dime to save a nickel"
