Re: so what do I do? long rant sorry its my first post :(
Ditto.
I had a lot of financial support from my parents when I was in college and law school, so I can relate to that aspect of your post. And when I was unable to find a job for a while after graduating, I moved back home and I did accept their help with a couple of studen loan payments.
But the difference is that I felt like crap about it. Every day I was out there looking for a job so that they wouldn't have to support my out of school azz, because they had already done so much for me. And although H and I were at a place in our relationship where we knew we wanted to get married before I got a job, we didn't, because we both wanted to be self-sufficient when we did so. As a result, we are now husband and wife, both employed, and hoping to buy our first house very soon.
Your dad is right. He has spent a lot of money so that you can concentrate on school and not have to work during that time. You can repay him by working hard at school, and not getting distracted from your education with wedding and baby plans. And by working hard to get a job when you are done.
