Person Shares How They Failed To Notice Key Cues That Their Parents Wouldn't Pay For Their 18th B-Day Dinner

I agree with you 100% My son is an adult and as long as I live he will never pay for his meal in a restaurant with me or his father!

These people aren't parents, they are sperm and egg donors. Your babies never stop being your babies. Doesn't matter what age they are

Yeah in mine too. You're just legally accountable if you do a crime

In my country, if a child is still in school, the parents are legally required to care and provide for him/her till the age of 26, even if you become an adult at 18.

Hey Pandas, What’s The Best Excuse You’ve Ever Said Just Because You Didn’t Want To Say No?

My mom said no was my excuse for anything when I was young. I'd make sure she knew too so all my bases were covered

You don't spring it on a non-autistic person either. Inviting someone to dinner implies the inviter is paying. That is a normal social cue. If they are not paying, that needs to be clarified before hand so the guest is prepared. I was invited to a kid's birthday party once. It was at a pizza joint, and I arrived to find I had to buy own food. Would have been very awkward if I hadn't had $10 in my pocket. OPs parents are TA's for pulling this c**p.

YES OH MY GOSHHH I agree!! Like, just chillin... "Hey uh, You're paying your bill" Like, uhm.. Ma'am... Inform me earlier so I can mentally prepare for having to speak to people! 💀

We just went out with our 36 yr old daughter, her three children, husband, and the in-laws to celebrate her 10 year old’s birthday and we picked up 1/2 of the total $240 (incl tip) bill for ALL - even tho we’re the grandparents and on a fixed income.

At 18 you become a legal adult, and are no longer considered a child. Legally. Not physically, mentally, or emotionally. It just means that from that point on, you can sign legally binding contracts, enlist in the military, and if you mess up, you will be prosecuted as an adult. And your parents aren't legally required to care for you anymore. So all those people that should never have had kids get to pretend they don't.

Oh my god I'm autistic and YOU DO NOT SUDDENLY SPRING THINGS ON AN AUTISTIC PERSON. It INSTANTLY sets off massive anxiety and the victim will almost certainly panic. The parents should absolutely have known better, and this whole stunt they pulled was just out and out cruel. And that's not even getting into the nastiness of making someone of *any* age pay for their own birthday dinner.

I know. What is this obsession about kids turning 18 and kicking them out of your house? What is paying $50 for your son on his special day? I would sometimes randomly buy stuff for my babies with my blue collar income and yet we were never lacking. As a parent it is our responsibility to love our kids because they never asked to be born. It does not matter how old they get. They are still our flesh and blood.

This is another post that with or without the ASD/OCD diagnosis, what the parents did was incredibly mean and disrespectful. If your going to change the rules and expectations, you talk about it beforehand. The fact they knew OP’s issues makes it even worse they would do something like this. It would be a mean joke if they were just messing with them, but sounds like they were serious. Ugh I really don’t like people sometimes. “Happy birthday! We won’t take care of you anymore! Good luck!!”

Your family are a bunch of utter shits. This is the worst thing you can do to an autistic person. To then act like you are the ahole is just.... their attitude the whole time is that they all planned this knowing it would cause so much distress. This really boils my blood. I had to spend 4 days getting my son ready to go into school breakfast club the first time he went. If I hadn't it would have been a disaster. More recently my wife was going to take him to school but he got upset as it was a sudden change in routine so I took him as normal. I hope you can get away from them and live independently or with someone who is willing to make accommodations for you.

What is this weird obession with the 18th birthday? Here most kids are still in school then, after that comes uni or vocational training. Nothing you can make an independent living on. And even if they were making enough money to be independent, what an effed up way to spring it on them. Some people shouldn't be having kids.

I Fake An Accent At My Job

My heart is pounding writing this because I literally haven’t told anyone this. So I work at this one store, and I work on the sales floor; but before all that, I was just one person interviewing for a position at the store. Before I arrived for my interview, a friend of mine dared me to interview in a British accent. I said I’d do it only if they paid me, and to my surprise, they sent me like $10 through venmo (which was more than enough for me). I went into the interview with the mindset that I wasn’t gonna get hired and they inevitably hired me on the spot. Accent and all. I was nervous because I had already talked to a whole bunch of higher ups with the accent and decided to just go through with it -thinking it was only going to be a summer job. I was so wrong. It’s been like 7 months that I’ve been working there and I still use the accent to this day. When people ask me where I’m from I just tell them my hometown because I have several brits from that town whom I grew up with. The accent hasn’t really posed a problem until now cause my bf is friends with one of my coworkers so I’m gonna have to find the right time to come clean.. thanks for coming to my TedTalk

Thank you. I am 45 listening to this song made me realize we still need so much to do in breaking the cycle of abuse. For the younger generation to put this into a song about children growing up in abusive families and school and their friends are the only safe haven in their lives, it is truly heartbreaking.

Do not got back to that toxic place. That is not your home. That Bible thumping, self righteous id*ot will always do something to cut your head so you will not move ahead of them. As for your mom, let her listen to the song “I hope that u’r okay” by Olivia Rodrigo. There is a line in that song about parents loving the Bible more than their son and also about how with some people, family is merely blood. This is so your biological mother and her husband.
