You friend can try talking to her parents and explain the situation that she is in. It sounds like she is keeping all these to herself, and her parents may not realise that they are overspending..

My parents have a tendency to spend on unnecessary stuffs too, but thank god they usually ask for my older bro's opinion first, and he usually says no. Then they let the subject go...

I tink she shld be open n talk to her family rgd tis matter. Mayb juz set aside a small amt of money for the parents, something within her means. Her parents will not know if she keeps quiet abt her financial problems. Communication is important. Everytime when we hv miscommunication its cos we always ASSUME the other party knows....

Well it happened to my fren too. Same problem, but she's much worst. Parents not working at all and she hv a 3 yr old kid to look after. The dad is able bodied but refuses to work cos he wan to save 'face' (use to own a biz but failed)

May Lush Be With U!

Well. Posting will result in comments and advice and even flamings... So be prepared for that. If you are hoping for no flaming, then don't post... (Don't get misunderstood. I don't mean myself flaming, but others who might be) =D

Anyway, I have a friend similar with your friend too. I don't know if she's the same one. As the situation she had really really similar... Anyway, like what others said, I think she really need to communicate with her parents. Nothing is impossible if you don't take the steps and move on. Think most parents will be understandable on it.

Sigh, ego at work. One will only become a failure if he stop trying...

Those who say they care really don't. Because those who do, don't need words to justify their actions.

Default Re: Helping a friend

i think that the parents should seek counselling and get their priorities right. seriously speaking, there is something wrong with a family that is poor. the mum can afford to go ktving, the dad can afford to visit a god daughter. and to visit surely means buying food or gifts.

does the parents even work?

the girl is stil at education stage. its the parents responsibility to help their child through, instead of asking for $$ when the child hasnt even got a stable job.

more information about the irresponsible parents??
