Can I have some money please? Im skint.
Yours lovingly,
your 51 year old son. X (the one whos never quite got it together)"
----
Just leaving this here to complete my humiliation, in the hope the public shame stops me from having to ask again.
Sorry for the look at me post. I'm off to lick my wounds. Have a wonderful weekend all.

You're a good man. Balanced and sensible. Posting history shows you're a good dad as well. We already knew that though when you said your son was an Arsenal fan. You could have ruined his life and insisted he was a Norwich fan. Character is far more important than money.
Now, don't ever make me compliment you again. Scum pr1ck. Ah, that's better. |  |

Never be ashamed about asking for help. |  |

Takes more of a man to admit that he is in need than to hide behind his pride.
You’re a good man and you come across as a good dad as well.
Now all this niceness is making me feel a tad sick - I’m off to find a kitten and put it in a wheelie bin to make me feel better. |  | | |

These things can happen sometimes. As my mother always said, better to give some help then when we needed it, rather than sitting on the money until after she'd gone - having not had an entirely good experience with her own parents when in a bit of a fix.
She kept records and it was all equitably sorted out between the siblings with the probate/will. |  |

Give her a home made present for Mother's Day. Otherwise a little bit of her will be saying "I paid for this present! He borrowed money off me and used some of it to buy this present!"
Write her a poem, paint her a picture, bake her a cake...
Whatever, just as long as it is something that you put your time and effort into, rather than her money!
Oh, and you didn't have to post this on here.
Remember: You're lucky to have her, but there will be days when she is very lucky to have you, too! [Post edited 13 Mar 14:59]

Football aside you're a good old boy, go easy on yourself. |  | | |

Since becoming a parent I've also come to realise if either of my kids were short of dough I would be distraught if I knew they were suffering in silence rather than asking me for help. | | | |

No need to be humiliated we all go through tough times. That is what families and friends are there for to help support each other.
Hope things improve on your side! |  | | |

Have you considered setting fire to part of your property and then making an inflated insurance claim ? |  |

Don't feel bad on yourself.
My dad always felt it was his obligation to help me out financially and leave as much as he could to me. He helped enable me to put down a bigger deposit and even when I was earning quite a bit more than him, when I went home he would inevitably give me some cash for the week ahead.
My mother carried this on when he died, and she would pay for lunch when we went out, and even pay for things like repairs to my car.
And I feel the same way about my children.
It's what good parents are and do, assuming of course they have the resources. [Post edited 13 Mar 18:06]

Concur with the opinion that you’re a good egg, Ullers, despite your strange Norfolkian proclivities.
Always wondered why you chose here as your spiritual home though?
Don’t they have a TWTD equivalent up in the badlands…Those With Twelve Digits or something?

I think it is called 'Froth of the Barclay'. | |

This is always a good place to share stuff mate. Hope all goes well.
My dear old mum (and dad) helped me plenty over the years and we've done the same with our kids.
No humiliation and no one will judge you. |  |
