Do you feel guilty spending your parent's money?

[Metric1]

My mother and father pay all of my university expenses, living expenses and other general expenses. I pay for my car (both of em are paid off). I made about 22k this summer and I have about 13 left.. but my new car cost about 6 to get on the road so i don't really spend that much..

[Recursion]

Yeah I feel guilty. They do so much for me, paying for my driving lessons, insurance, fuel, paying my way through Uni etc, I fully intend to pay them back one day though. They say they don't mind because I'm always so helpful to them but I still feel guilty.

They also say they'd rather pay for me to live and focus on my academic work than force me to get a job, taking time out of Uni... I still got a job whilst I was in sixth form though, they're trying to set me up in good stead for when I move out and get my own house, job etc.

To an extent, depends what I intend to do with the money I suppose. Atm I'm not bothering to get a job due to the fact that I had an operation in Feb/Mar and it's still a bit dodgy and that the chances of an employer taking the risk of it is unlikely, especially with the lack of part time jobs going around. I'll probably be looking early next year sometime, but until then I will need money to get home from college and other essentials etc.

I feel guilty receiving money off my Mum, let alone spending it. I only ever ask for money if I need to buy things, like toiletries/college supplies/clothes.

I feel guilty having to ask my parents for money. They work so hard to keep our family happy. I respect this a lot. But my sister doesn't seem to. If she doesn't get something, she complains about it. Its very annoying.

I have to rely on my parents money because I'm still at school, but when I get a job and get settled into adult life, I'm going to try and repay them all that they have spent on me. I'm obviously not going to be able to repay them every penny, but if they ever need help, I will help them as a way to repay them.

For the last few years not really no.
They owe me money because I bailed them out from the tax man, so noooo.

[Andeeh]

Yeah, my dad helps me out a lot of the ******* time and I feel like i'm such a hinderence to him. I have started looking for jobs and stuff but he does a lot for me and I do take advantage of the fact.

I should ask them the question because they owe me £364

I don't really spend my mums money, just use my own when I need something. But if I don't have any I'll usually help with the housework or something and then she gives me some

[:odey:]

It didn't used to, it was kind of their 'job'.. haha,

But now I really do, because I have a car, that they have to pay for, and everything,

I just need a job! haha,
