Tight Auld ones

TomoBhoy

Right the Auld dear came into some money so I mentioned she could get me a Xbox one for Xmas now I've a family of my own I care for my ASD daughter full time I've helped out the auld dear on many occasions and I have never received anything off her since I was 16/17 and she said she'd go halfs with me for one first time I have ever asked her for something I normall wouldn't but it really is getting to me, when she dies does she expect me to pay for her funeral ?

She can f€ck off !

Anyone else has a mother like this?

xbox are for kids op, she was dead right.

Jaysus, you sound delightful. You're an adult as is your mother. Save for an xbox if you want one and stop pestering your mother. If she wants to get it for you she will.

You're a grown adult. Grow up FFS.

Did you actually start a thread just because your mother won't buy you an Xbox one?

This is brilliant!

Haha some man.

A tight young wan wouldn't go astray right now, let me tell you.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. And a toaster, maybe...

AH- Ye at slacking!

Misled by thread title.

An auld wan closing up is better than a young wan opening. .

It's her money and none of your business what she does with it.

You might think of something to help your ASD daughter before you look for an Xbox. Grow up man!

Lapin

I hope you didn't write to her to make your request OP.

Tight auld ones?

No, no, no

Ive heard its more like throwing a sausage up O'Connell Street

Turtyturd

Lol...OP got pwned by his aul one.

TomoBhoy

I suppose I was expecting as much from her I paid my way through 2nd and 3rd level and it not as if she has ever spent anything on me in 30 yrs and tbh she wasn't much of a mother, I'm not bother about the Xbox I've already sorted that out but the fact she hasn't bothered to offer me anything, it's the taught that counts kind of thing ?

My daughter is the first thing on my mind the last thing at night I make sure she has all her needs catered for before my own

Well if she was never much of a mother to you and you supported yourself most of your life, why would you suddenly think she would do a u turn after 30 years.

Get over it.

Focus on your daughter and give her what you never had.

OP, you aren't allowed on boards until you are at least 13. Does your Ma know you are on the internet?

Maybe it's that glimmer of hope that sadly isn't there !

This is golden stuff altogether

What on earth made you think that starting a thread about this was a good idea? :pac:

On after Hours of all places. Was obviously expecting an outpouring of "ah ye poor dear, you sound so deprived - getting to 30 an not even having an Xbox. Call the cruelty man or something".

the groutch

Sure the Xbox One is shyte anyway

Rubberchikken

Not really the way to refer to your mother.
You're an adult. Buy the xbox yourself

Don Kedick

I agree with the OP, his mama is a tight auld one.

All that 2nd level and 3rd level, and still can't spell thought!

Well played Sir!


You're right OP, it's the thought that counts, your mother thought about it, and decided you didn't need the money, saves you forking out for her funeral costs too. You should be grateful for these life lessons your mother has taught you. It may not seem like much to be grateful for now, but when she's gone, a games console is a poor substitute for your mother.

OP must be from Cavan

Your momma is buying me an xbox one, so there.

Thread title was very misleading.

These days, it's common for 3rd-level students to support their college costs by working after classes.

I'm not sure how you can pay your way through second-level though. Were you paying rent and taxing the car? Or do you mean that you paid for school trips and books etc out of your part-time job? Because again, that's not exactly abnormal.

Kids usually realize by the age of 17 or 18 that nobody owes them a free ride, much less an X Box.

fineso.mom

How did she come in to the money ?,,, lotto win, inheritance, bingo, scamming, thieving? Not that it matters, I'm just nosy.

Also, my son is 17 and has saved up from his part time job to buy a new playbox, xstation thing for himself and his brother for Xmas. If, when he is 30 he asks me to buy him a toy ( cos that's what it is basically), I'd be thinking I went wrong somewhere... ;-)

But she offered to pay half. That's about €200 she offered you.

OP? Did she she buy your 6 brothers and sisters anything?

I lived in my nans I worked from 12/13 paid for my uniform and books and worked my ass off after school,at weekends while she used money to have a great time the same money that was to supply me with books/uniform.

She'll probably surprise you with it on Christmas morning.

I worked and contributed to the household from that age, while going to school, getting a great leaving cert and going to college.

I still wouldn't expect my mam to buy me stuff. She came into money a few years back. I didn't ask for, or receive a cent. I'm an adult, why would I ask my mam for money unless i desperately needed it for rent?

You're an adult, expecting mammy to buy you a games console. Seriously? Grow up a bit.

I don't really get why you mentioned having a child with an ASD, either unless you're trying to prove to AH how worthy you are of your mother's money.

So you claim your mother absolved herself of parental responsibility when you were 12, and suddenly, you say, you're surprised when your mother does not gift you an xbox1.

I'm not sure whether to believe this or suggest adding some perspective.

The school and college you attended have a lot to answer for.

Full stop.

I know mothers like these. They're nice to you at first when you're a cute little child. Then out of nowhere, they expect you to wash yourself and put on pants every day.

Did you genuinely expect anyone to agree with you on this? Nobody owes you anything. I would have thought you would have learnt this by now given your life story.
