FATHER SOLD 5-ROOM HDB FLAT & MADE $300K PROFIT, BUT STILL ASKS SON FOR ALLOWANCE
Should i continue to give my father money
Recently my father, a widower just sold his 5 room flat and downgrade to 2 room flexi. After minus everything he got back 300K cash.
I have my own family of 2 kids. Just last month he continue to ask me for $400 allowance which I have gave for past 20 years.
Can I tell him that since he have 300K now can i cut his allowance. What if he tell relative that I am unfilial or anything.
Give $400 without increment for the past 20 years. So it becomes an issue after he got some money? He got 30k or 300k should not be a factor. If you are really struggling just negotiate with him. He don’t really want the $400. He wants to know that you still care about him.
$400 is not too much actually. Make your parents happy, they are getting old already. Give them good memories. They raised us up after all.
How much you gives your parents is not whether they are loaded or not. It’s an appreciation as well as showing filial piety as their child.
Next time ur 2 kids also do this to you when you old lor
You gave him a total of $96,000 for the past 20 years. I think he and your mother probably spent more than that raising you up. Shame on you.
