because they raised her

Yes, you heard it right

Her parents want her to pay them $250,00 because they raised her.

And she plans on paying them in entirety because of the fear that her parents will disown her

Some other factors to consider:
-her parents didn't pay for any of her college (and she's out of state)
-she has a brother of about the same age and he doesn't have to pay anything

What would you do in this case? I love my parents but I would take my chances and not pay them a penny. If they really loved me, they wouldn't never speak to me over a matter of money.

Tell her to tell them to go fuck themselves. That is some fucked up, repugnant shit right there.

4/18/2008 5:17:07 PM

4/18/2008 5:17:09 PM

wow.

that's exactly what I told her (minus the "fucked up, repugnant shit" part)

funny thing is is that she isn't sure

she thinks they took the average cost to raise a child to the age of 18 ($500,000) and cut it in half

being disowned would cost her WAY less than 250k. I'd say fuck em and enjoy the quartermil.



it wasnt her fault her mom got pregnant. they accepted the 250k worth of child care by keeping the baby. . . .

another point I brought up

she had no control over being born

4/18/2008 5:22:12 PM

exactly. tell her to tell her folks to go fuck themselves.

4/18/2008 5:24:31 PM

i'd have quite a hearty laugh if my parents tried that shit with me

4/18/2008 5:25:40 PM

the only time that owing your parents that much money is if it was an agreement made before the money was spent!!!!!!

but she did have control over living.







man, that's just wrong though

4/18/2008 5:26:48 PM

tell her to give them a condom and wish them luck on inventing time travel

[Edited on April 18, 2008 at 5:28 PM. Reason : I'd go with being disowned. I wouldn't want to talk/see them after they told me that.]

methinks there is more to this.

I really hope there is more to this.


Did she win the lottery?

4/18/2008 5:29:22 PM

wow. you guys are so inconsiderate.

i don't see any reason why she shouldn't pay. Being a parent is a full time job.

4/18/2008 5:30:39 PM

If they were good parents, she wouldn't have them charging her.

4/18/2008 5:31:28 PM

Nope. She's graduating this semester as an engineering making about $55,000.

Would you pay your parents $250000 if they asked? If so, I call bullshit.

[Edited on April 18, 2008 at 5:34 PM. Reason : yo]

4/18/2008 5:32:44 PM

fuck that.
opportunity cost.

i'm sure her mom could've made $250,000 in 18 years.



besides she owes them $250,000 for not being on the end of a coat hangar or somewhere in a trash bag

4/18/2008 5:33:20 PM

Something is missing here, what did she do? Get knocked up? A hissyfit with the mom? Marry someone of different race? Parents aren't gonna just flat out say over dinner that Tom next door cut his yard too short, and oh, by the way you owe us 250 grand. Especially if the brother doesn't have to pay, either. Give us, us free details.

4/18/2008 5:33:50 PM

rofl at give us free.

She didn't do anything except that she is a girl.
Didn't get knocked up, have a hissy fit, or marry someone of a different race.

She knew that she owed her parent $250,00 for a couple years now. It wasn't that they just sprung this up recently.

Her brother is graduating as an English major and she is an engineer. The fact that he will never make anywhere close the amount she does and the fact that she is a girl is part of the reason that she owes $250000 and he doesn't.

4/18/2008 5:39:34 PM

what the fuck does being a girl have to do with it?

4/18/2008 5:40:20 PM

are these people foreigners?

I can't believe she really seems to think she 'owes' them the money they are saying she does.

I can say for several years that elton john is straight. Doesn't make it any more true.

4/18/2008 5:46:30 PM

it's been said for a while now that the cost of raising a child to age 18 is about $250,000. i guess thats where the amout came from. it's not some random number.

i would never pay up.

4/18/2008 5:47:20 PM

I call bullshit.







Elton John so is straight.

yes they are. this also partly explains the insanity in this

^she's not even close to being a millionaire (she's just graduating) and she's not a douchebag

^^again, this isn't bullshit. I couldn't make something like this up.

So if that's the case, it should be proportional to what they make.

So they are binary folks, thinking in computer science terms, all or nothing , huh? This just reinforces my belief they are Indians

4/18/2008 5:51:29 PM

hmmm...i wonder what a cheap hit man would cost?

4/18/2008 5:51:32 PM

if she's stupid enough to pay it she deserves to lose it

4/18/2008 5:52:58 PM

Fuck a hitman, I'd just drop them like a bad habit.

4/18/2008 5:53:27 PM

are they taking inflation into account? how do they know its $250000? did they keep records or something? wtf kind of parent does this? sounds like there's more to this story.
