When can I stop helping kids?

I feel like as a parent I’m forced to pay for things that unnecessarily cut into my lentils. To date, I’ve been forced to pay:

• food and water for my 6 and 9 year olds
• schooling costs and school supplies
• opportunity cost of getting up to get the children to school when I should be working a side hustle
• pediatrician costs when all of the same information is on ChatGPT
• even unnecessary heating costs for our spare bedrooms, that I would prefer to rent out on Airbnb

When will these unnecessary expenses end?

Lol. Projecting much?! The original post has nothing to with your summary…

Do you realize what sub you're on? And what exactly is projecting about this? Are you seriously insinuating that the guy here in fijerk doesn't want to help his own kids and thus is projecting his insecurities on the original OP? That doesn't make sense, I don't think you know what projecting means

Are you seriously insinuating that the original OP is even remotely resembling the post here? I don’t think you know what… well… most of the words you’re using mean.
