Ok, so I'm 20 years old I have moved out and am now living with my fiancé in my hometown. We are super tight on money right now trying to get on our feet. So my parents jump in and help us out right before Christmas. They paid for the phone for the month along with half our rent. It was nice of them I appreciate everything they do, well then they give us $200 each to spend on each other for Christmas. I didn't ask for this. I felt terrible. But they insisted that we take it and have our first real Christmas together (he was away last year). Well come today, my mom wanted to go shopping and I had to get a few things so she calls and says she would be around to pick me up in about 10 minutes. ....two hours later I call to find out when she's coming. And I proceed to get yelled and screamed at by mom dad who says im an ungrateful bitch. And that my mom is running around town with no wedding ring because the diamond fell out and he can't afford to buy a new one because he has to bail me out. I never asked for him to help. I don't get what I've done wrong. And honestly this has been going on for as long as I can remember. I don't know what to do? Anyone else have this problem

    It was their decision to give you all that help... if anything it sounds like their Christmas gift to you. Thats how I would have seen it if my mom did that for me...she usually just sends me money♡

    If he couldnt afford it he shouldn't have given that much...and now he is being super rude to you...maybe just refuse any help from them in the future.

    When I gift my kids with cash, it is just that; a gift. No strings and no recriminations. If I couldn't afford to give it, I wouldn't, but I'd never do to my kids what your dad is doing to you. If he fucked up and couldn't afford to help, he should be man enough to own up to his error and NEVER put you on the spot.
    Unfortunately, if this shit happened to me as you described it, I'd have to refuse any further help from him, no matter how badly I needed the help. I just don't see it as worth it.
    There's always a part time second job or some way to get a bit of needed cash.
    I'm sorry; he's being a childish ass.

    Sounds like they may have been stressed out, but yeah I wouldn't accept their help anymore... if they insisted you take their help and then yelled at you and called you names after... that's troubling.

    Sounds like a pattern so don't participate in it any more: tempting as it is, don't take financial help from them with those strings attached
