Does it bother you...

when your parents tell you how to spend your money?

My mom does it ALL THE TIME and it drives me crazy... I know she means well... but shouldn't I be able to spend my money anyway I like without having to answer to her?

... approx. at what age will parents stop treating their children like children? (.. never) Chat Icon

Yes. I hate when they do that. Or, when I buy something, my mom always says "how much was that?" It annoys me so much!Chat Icon

My mom does this and it's so annoying! When she visits, she stays with my sister or me and is always telling us "we should do this to the house and why don't you do this?"....UM, hello, I don't have your money and unless you are willing for fork some over, be quiet!

My Mom will do it on occasion, but I know she means well and speaks from experience. Besides, she knows I'm horrible with money.

My MIL on the other hand, does it all the time. Most often, she is telling us to send money to one relative or another because they are "having a rough spot". Chat Icon

Seriously. I'm 24 and have a good paying job. If I want to buy a Coach bag, I should be able to buy it without hearing "I would NEVER spend that much on a pocket book."

Chat Icon Well, you know what mom, I would and I did!

ETS: It's not like I'm spending thousands of dollars on a bag!

Gosh...don't get me started.

A little bit but in the other way. When DH and I were looking for houses she didn't understand why we weren't looking at $1M homes! Chat Icon Uh, because we can't afford that! Chat Icon Chat Icon She has no concept of money at all!

Re: Does it bother you...

My parents don't really do that anymore. Although, when I told them I wasn't going to Disney this week, they did say, "Oh good, we thought it was a bad idea to take a vacation when you have a baby on the way. You need to save!"

Gee, thanks, as if I didn't know that already.Chat Icon But it's unusual they say something like that.

It drives my father crazy that we are not more aggressive with investing our savings. He hates the idea of a Roth IRA.

My mother hates it when I order chinese or get pizza. That is her ultimate waste of money.

i agree. my parents (and DHs too) are very good in this area, so when they do actually say something, i'll try to hear them out

My father always loves to put his 2 cents in...he told me once that he's going to be doing that until the day he dies so I better get used to it!Chat Icon
