      expected coming from the country that kicks out 18yr olds from home like sacks of shit and insist on driving huge suvs to the detriment of their kids

      this was always so weird to me. My parents at least have an excuse that they’re as broke as I am so I don’t expect it from them lol but I have a friend whose parents are retired and have like, literally millions spread across different accounts and they refuse to help him out with anything. it’s not like they have a bad relationship either, it’s just a “pull yourself up by the bootstraps, kiddo” kinda thing.
