my father is an engineer, government contractor, and Zionist. I wonder sometimes if the Palestinians are paying for my nursing degree right now.
Comment on Life is unfair to landlords
glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I recently learned that my dad used to be a landlord. Problem was, he has a sense of morals, ethics, and empathy. Tennants would be unable to pay rent for one reason or another, but he wouldn’t evict them because he understood that sometimes shits hard. Eventually, he had to sell all his properties to a less scrupulous landlord.
I feel conflicted with the knowledge that I could have had a better childhood if my dad was a worse person.

He could have been the type of parent to charge their children rent once they turn 16.

We do that, all the money goes into an account for him though and he’s aware of it. When he moves out it’s his again.

Why 16? why not 14 or 18 if you are that kind of a dick. Like I understand that some people ask their childeren to pay rent once they get a fulltime job. Heck I have heard of parents who didn’t need to money from their kids so they put it in a savings account in the kdis name and gave it to them when they needed to buy a house). I also know somebody who was 10k short of buying an appartement, he had to pay rent to help his parents stay afloat.
