FFFC: I'm an authorized user on my mom's Nordstrom credit card. The sale is coming up next week and I know I can go buy (almost) whatever I want and my parents will pay for it.
My husband does this kind of shit to his parents & I hate it. I think it's so fucking rude. If my kid(s) do this once they hit adulthood, I'll be sending their ass a bill.

My dad grew up very very poor. One of his greatest joys in life is sharing his wealth with my sister and I. Flame me all you want for that. It made me uncomfortable for a while, but I've asked him to stop doing things like randomly send me money and he will not stop. It's his life so I've given up trying to tell him what to do with his money.

I wouldn't allow my adult children to be authorized users in the first place.

I had my parents credit card for gas and emergencies in college. I still had it after I got married but never charged on it. My mom called the other day and said that their credit card had been stolen so I needed to cut mine up. I said ok no problem, then she says that I won't be getting another one. Haha. Thanks mom. What if I have an emergency?? Jk
I always have Baby Center's due date calculator open on my internet on my phone. I put in when I think I will ovulate to see my potential due date, and change it if need be once I actually ovulate. I look over it a few times a week to see when I would potentially be due, when I would be 12 weeks, how far along I would be at each upcoming holiday, etc.
I use that calculator, too! It's BabyCenter's one good thing.
Ha! No, but that would be hilarious. He owns a successful restaurant that was being featured on the travel channel. He was not very motivated when we dated. Glad that's changed!
I think someone on TCF or The Dump had a BF on dating naked, I can't remember who it was though.
FFFC: I watch that show, it is amazing when you are a few drinks in. Such a cluster fuck of (blurred out) tits and dicks.
Yes, a reg on TTC had an ex-boyfriend on Dating Naked. Should I tell? I wonder if she cares...

I had one in college, although it was for way more than emergencies. My dad has now replaced my second one post college. I never use it except when my dad tells me too (like please buy yourself a bday present, or would you mind doing my grocery shopping). I think the main purpose of the card is a long running family joke, where my dad tells my either my brother or me that we have to pay for a family dinner and we say sure and pull out the card that gets billed to him. And he cracks up. Every single time. For the past 10 years.

This. I was thinking how incredibly shitty it is to do that.

I'm not flaming the fact that your dad wants to spend money on you. But the whole "I'll just use their credit card & they'll pay for it" came across (to me) as arrogant. Even if my parents gave me money everyday I would never use their credit card just simply because I can.

LOL that you thought that was flaming. #mildatbest

But you just said that Nordstrom was having a sale, and you can buy whatever you want with their card... doesn't seem like you are that uncomfortable using their money.. Just my observation.
FFFC: Barbiestyle is hands down my favorite Instagram account. I stalk it. For those of you who don't know what it is (which is probably nearly everyone) it's an official Mattel thing, that is a very fashionable Barbie doll that leads a very glamorous life.
Guess this is going to be my latest time waste!! #instaobsessed

I have definitely been looking at it in front of people, sighed and said "I wish I had Barbie's life" more than once. It gets a lot of strange looks.

If I didn't put "Call [mom/grandpa/high school friend]" on my calendar in advance, I would never speak to most of the people in my life who live elsewhere.
I cannot fathom using a parent's credit card, ever.
Some people show love through gifts, and that's okay, but I have a hard enough time accepting $$ for things when it's offered. Just recently, M&FIL offered to cover something fairly major for me, and I turned them down flat. I'm an adult. H and I can work out our own finances.

Different path, but my MIL essentially bribes her sons and it drives me batty! She always try to pay for trips so she can be in control of who goes and what goes on. Tons of other examples, but ugh it hurts my head.

I just hate the phone. . Luckily my peeps know I adore them and think about them, and not to be offended by lack of phone ringing

Edit- change in words.
I'm not anymore. Usually they give me a budget for the sale and I do pay for anything over that amount myself. Hence the (almost)

My husband & I hit very hard times a few years ago. Without the financial help of our families, we probably would have been homeless. Did I enjoy the fact that we needed their help? Of course not. Was I about to turn it down because we're adults? FUCK NO.
But in my mind, "hey, thanks for keeping a roof over my head" is way different than "hey, thanks for these cute shoes you bought me on sale."

Hypothetical: If your parents will leave some kind of inheritance when they (ugh) pass away, then eventually you'll be getting money from them. Unless you donate the entire inheritance of course.
In our family my parents have decided to utilize the bulk of any future inheritance while they're still alive.
