What is wrong with this world?

I have no children with DH. I read so many posting about guilt-driven parenting. Certainly, that is the case with DH (paying for $2000 per month rent for a year for a college grad, who does not have a job). I just don't understand. I know that children are treasure and blessing. However, children, who are treasure and blessings, does not let their parents suffer the consequences with the choices that they are making. I tried to make sense of all this. I talked to DH again and again about responsible parenting. He told me, "you don't have kids and you don't know how I feel." Seriously, I am somebody else's child too. I know that I will never ever put my parents in a situation like this, where my parents' financial lives are falling apart, because I am entitled for an apartments I can not afford. The lack of common sense makes me sick. Children, who are winners, do not graduate from college and continue leech off their parents. DH told me that she is trying. It's been a year, and no job coming. It's ridiculus. I am not going to take this bull crap anymore. Now, he is living in her apartment. Perhaps, he will begin to see what a wonderful human being his daughter is and how hard she is trying. He maybe decide that raising a grown woman is more important than keeping a healthy marriage, but I don't care. It's freeing to know that I want to be with a man with common sense and is responsible for his own life (with no strings attached). I know years and years from now (if we do get a divorce) I will look back and know that this is the best battle I had fought for myself.

He resents his parents. I told him that if he has that much hatre toward his parents and he would not do that to them. How much hatre does his daughter have for him? He did not say anything to me, but I know he understands my point. Although he gets it, he is still paying the bills. He has no common sense at all, when it comes to his flesh and blood. FEAR of his daughter not ever talking to him again. I told him if his daughter is a piece of work like that he should not keep her around. DO the world some good. Tell her to go back to own mother. Well, I guess the battle line is drawn. I don't ever want to see, hear about, or paying the consequences for SD. If she does not take a hike, he should.

Not sure what is going on. He did try to contact me twice, threating he would not pay some expenses. I have not respond and I won't. I think it's ridiculus for him to make threats. I don't know if SD gave him that stupid idea. When he threatens her with money, because he pays for the apartment, she backs down. He knows that I have a JOB and make good money! He threatens to leave I let him leave. He used to threaten me with that. I would be scared out of my mind, because I loved him. I did told him to stop making these threats, because I will one day take him seriously and let him go. Now, I have nothing to lose. I think he is soon going to threaten to get a divorce. I will let his threats come true.

Good for your friend. All the cheap shots we have to take. Now, there is none of that crap in her life. You are a good friend. You don't need to be liked by a person who is not treating your friend well. He deserved to be kicked to the curb.
