Now he needs some money to run his account so as to take care of some business which @ the moment i dont have and i dont know what to say to him.

Okija_juju:

I'm sure when your father was training you through school, feeding your ungrateful behind, clothing you and buying you all those nice barbies and things, he did not ever come on Nairaland to complain to us that your school fees were unaffordable or that he had to almost suck someones nuts to give you pocket money.

How ungrateful can you spoilt kids get. So let me guess, 1 million naira is enough payment for all his troubles so he might as well go to hell abi?!!

Heres an advice, send him a txt msg _{(I'm guessin you bought him a Blackberry also)} and tell him to go to hell. Or go on his facebook profile _{(assuming he can use the internet)}, and tell him to go and farm.


RUBBISH!!

@Okija_juju his dad sent him to school and spent money training him because that was his obligation to his son as a parent.

The poster should take care of his dad within his financial capability. Explain your financial situation to him

cramsvill:

Please house i need help on what to tell my dad. Although he has seen me through school and all but i am just starting my life and believe he should understand that. I got a lucrative job in 2008 and have have dished out close to a million bucks to when my dad had some financial difficulty last year. Although he promised to pay back but am not counting on that. Now he needs some money to run his account so as to take care of some business which @ the moment i dont have and i dont know what to say to him.
My colleagues have all gotten cars while some already rented their own apartment but am yet to do any of these. Am just confused.

Well done mate. Nice one. Some people can be so ungrateful. They conviniently forget what their parents went through to make them who they are today. Assuming the father was well to do and he was parasiting off him, he would not run here asking for advice on how to bleed his father dry.

@ poster

Sorry i have no sympathy for you. Continue looking after your father. It is a priviledge to cater for ones parents. And the almighty God will open the showers of blessing for you. Call me old fashioned.

But the table are truned now. His father is his responsibility!
I understand your predicament, but the fact remains that you have to help your father.

helovesme:

poster, so it is now a crime to support your father when he is experiencing financial difficulties? you have no shame. when did it become a sin to cater for one's parents and stand by them in times of need?

if he had sent you to teacher's training college or government technical college, oshogbo will you have the lucrative job you have now. to those that are saying that all he did for you are only his responsibility as a parent, then he should have sent you to learn a trade like sewing.

so you want your father to become a pauper and feed from hand to mouth or come crying to you for money? what i will suggest you do is give him advice on how to run his business. there might be something wrong that he is doing with the investment that you can help put right. afterall, if the business becomes profitable, he will not have any reason to rely on you.

Training a child is a fathers responsibility abi!!

Thats a big lie,  No father owes their children anything more than food, clothing and shelter. That your father wants you to get a good education is not as a matter of responsiblity, but rather cos he is a GOOD father. Any fool can be a father, but it takes a good man to be a good father.

Lets all look at our individual fathers. I owe my dad everything I am today. He could have chosen to leave me in the useless government school where I was and which his salary/income could afford then. But NO he bent back tripple time and worked even harder to send me to the best schools he couldnt even convieniently afford, bought me the best clothes he could buy and when it came time to get a University degree, he pulled me out of the Nigerian University where I was and sent me to Ghana were I finished and today I am an engineer that can hold my own anywhere.

I dont think he owed me that much as a father, but he definitely did what other fathers rarely do for their own kids. If my dad had saved the money he used in training me in Ghana and bought a car with it, I'm sure his garage would be filled with alot of nice vehicles. I remember how my dads mood always use to change whenever it came to school fees period. Thats why I worked hard to get to were I am right now and I cant wait to start repaying his favor on me.

The poster is what she is today cos her father decided to forfeit personal luxury and give her ungrateful backside more than just food, shelter and clothing. If her dad had put the money he wasted raising her in a fixed deposit, he would not need to be borrowing money today. I will never support her cos she hasnt proven that he was a bad dad. Infact she has proven that she isnt worth the trouble the man put into raising her. Look at how no-chalantly she talked abut him training her through school. Maybe if he had let her grow up on the street and she was prostituting for a living then maybe she would appreciate the education he gave her.

Now when parents go through the added trouble of giving their children a good education and certain luxuries, they do it for the following reason:

1. Love. Cos they want you to be a complete person in the future. So you can stand on your own and compete favourably in society.
2. Independence; So you wouldnt depend on them your entire life.
3. So you will be able to take care of them in their old age when they would be too weak to fend for themselves.

[size=14pt]Mr. Self righteous, I hope as you de collect salary, every kobo goes 2 your pop seeing that u owe him everything?[/size]

Deep Soul:

^^Do you owe him your life?? If giving the lung or kidney will take your life, would you do it??


@Poster:
I understand your situation. It's a hard one. But just try and be diplomatic about it.

I loff my father very very very much! Infact I love him more than any other child in the world does their parent.
However, if my power no reach, e no reach!! And he'd have to understand that.

Siena:

What his father did for him - put him through college, uni, feed and clothe him etc are what a father is meant to do. That's a father's duty, and it is unconditional.

The son is struggling, and the leech is still asking for more money, despite never having paid the previous amount back! So, how long should the son be "grateful" to his dad for doing for him, what a father's meant to do for his child? When parents look after their children, are they doing so with the thought that "in 20 years time, I will extract this debt from him / her, he / she owes me"! Sometimes, it's best to think carefully, before posting.
