‘All I see is blatant irresponsibility’: Parents of 4 refuse to provide financial assistance to their financially inept son, who deprioritizes household necessities and, instead, unwisely spends his money on things like $600/mo DoorDash orders

If it were up to you, I'm sure you would love to order copious amounts of DoorDash food delivery and tip the delivery drivers 50%. You'd do so comfortably, because I'm sure you would only do so if you had everything else in your household under control. Mortgages, car payments, and childcare are all things that add up quickly when you're living on your own or with your spouse. You don't need anyone to tell you that money is usually tight—this economy ensures that we're digging for pennies and nickels. What else can you do? Well, you can disregard all of your necessities and just buy whatever the heck you want. The guy in this next story does exactly that, but not without consequences…

This guy's parents refuse to financially assist him after he and his spouse prioritize the wrong things in their lives. We're talking iPhone 16s, $600 DoorDash deliveries (per MONTH), and a lot of unnecessary, foolish spending. When you start a family, these lavish luxuries are no longer the first thing you can get with your paycheck each month. Who's going to tell these guys that? His parents—and it doesn't seem like they're going to bail their son out this time.
