Kids are so naive.....

[ummmm]

My daughter (18 in a few weeks) lives with her Dad in Ireland. Well she did until they had a fall out. She is now staying with her boyfriend. She phoned me yesterday asking for money to put a deposit down on her own place. Ok...no problem, but how are you going to pay the bills etc....her answer...well I'll get some money for my birthday.

How naive is that, and would you give them the money knowing they have nothing coming in?

BTW....they don't leave school until they are 18 in Ireland.

[ummmm]

lol...50k, I wish.

She's so daft....it's like explaining things to a ten year old...

I can understand you Ummmm, we all try to the best we can for our Sprogs but does she work? If not, why not? as you well know it's not the initial start of, its the running "of "as you said, can she not ask the Local Council for help? I read what you said about her Dad & falling out with him, can he not help? Like many of here If we want something, we work,save & work, I never asked my parents for help ( although they could not as they did not have the money) I had to work & work bloody hard for what i have, the thing is with parent they are too quick to help but there has to be a limit, & I honestly cannot see whats going to be the end of YOUR LIMIT. this has to be thought out very hard.

Hi TWR....she's still in school so is 'apparently' looking for a part time job. She had a fall out with her Dad over her step Mum. They use to get on really well until she moved in. It's one of those things I suppose. He won't turn his back on her though....he's a good Dad and loves his daughters.

She's just incredibly naive.....it's quite shocking actually. I suppose she's had a different upbringing to me though...

I wish you all the best, I'm glad My Sprogs have flown they are still local married & thank god settled. x

Hi Ummmm

Ahhh bless her! How naive she is... til she realises how hard real life really is out here!

You could always ask her what she is going to do to prove an income and affordability to the Estate Agent and Landlord.. and a credit check too? If she has insufficient income they would ask her for 6 months or a years rent payments in advance...
That might make her think twice!!

[ummmm]

Didn't think of that Nosha. There's my next argument...lol
