Ok anons. Give it to me straight. Married 25 yrs , 3 kids all over 21 and spoiled. Financially successful but humble. My Bday passed last month , I didn’t get a single gift. My family wanted to go to dinner. I paid. I didn’t think about at 1st but over the last week it’s really given me a complex. know it’s COVID-19 . But not a freaking pair of socks? Coffee mug? Slippers? Fucked up, no? I’m a top 200 link wallet. Should I leave em all when my stack hits 8 figures? I can replace her easily with a 25 yr old fox. My kids only like my $. What to do?
Not trying to brag by any means. The $ won’t affect my day to day life. Just thinking I can get a new family that will give a fuck and buy me a gift. Even a freaking box of chocolates or a freaking card. FWIW I’ve thought this over before. I hate my wife, but really thought my kids would have something more then a happy Bday old guy.
Maybe get a patreon girl to shovel your money into? She will appreciate it, kek
You'll never make it anyway, piggie. Time to pay $$$$
Dominic Cooper
I already made it.just want to feel appreciated. Thx for nothing
Angel Gonzalez
Yeah no one loves you even though you’re a provider. They just tolerate you. They’d probably love you if you weren’t such an ugly faggot but hey, at least you got link
Matthew Gomez
You are living my worst nightmare. Try and withdraw your attention from your family and see if it pulls anyone in?
Nathan Allen
Link is my saving grace at this point. Fuck everything else user
Joshua Flores
This thread is pure cancer There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel appreciated you Redditor tryhards
Henry Hall
Too many missing details (that we actually don't care about). Were you a good father/husband? If yes, then don't worry. You are the provider, and they know you buy what you want. It is all materialism. Enjoy your father. If not, then fuck off.
Jose Jones
Checked. user , where do I shift my focus to? I’m a old school spirit. Party scene is not my thing.
Henry Sullivan
You fucking kikes can serve Satan in hell

Chase Barnes
Can’t answer what you didn’t ask but, Very good at both father and husband. The wife is crazy.....little bit of bipolar. Kids know now she is batshit and I was both mom and dad. We are high school sweethearts, well actually since 7th grade. Things aren’t great but not turmoil either. Really puzzles me.
Joshua Wood
Haha, funny.... I’m in the middle of a outdoor kitchen build and tinkering with my 71 bronco. Just went Holley sniper and I did it myself. Very satisfying. Love fishing the gulf coast. (Snook is the best tasting fish in the ocean). Got a set of Hawaiian Ribeyes marinating for 30 hrs now. How’d you know....
Wyatt Barnes
Damn nigra. The dangers of spoiling uour kids and allowing them to use the Internet. Ill always remember The Bernays quote when I see or hear about disappointing children:
"We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind."
Juan Barnes
Just disappear my guy. Just vanish. Throw a dart at the map of the world and just fucking go. You made it already, right? If they're just leeching off you, close your accounts, tie up your loose ends and leave without saying a word. See if they notice.
David Clark
I fantasize about that at least 3 times a year for the last 5 yrs or so.
Zachary Ramirez
Happy late birthday user. Try to live your life like it's only one you got because it probably is. Choose to be happy my nigga.
Brody Ross
why would your family give a fuck about you when you view them all as easily dispensable.
your new family wouldnt be any different either.
Brody Rogers
Guns, machining, hunting, bushcraft, and ultralight camping deep innawoods. Also recommend making your own alcohol. Mead is pretty easy to make and is genuinely really good. Beer can be more of a pain in the ass, but I also recommend that too. Regardless, happy birthday user.
Elijah Hall
>waah my family dont appreciate me so imma ditch them when i get rich
Josiah Cruz
kinda this desu how did you treated your parents? did they witness it? kids usually follow parents example in how to behave
Noah Davis
Happy belated birthday user. You should have raised your kids better though faggot
Adrian Phillips
>expecting gifts on your birthday past the age of 12
wanna know how i know you own a switch
Blake Cruz
I always knew if I was rich I’d spoil the shit outta my seeds. Why? I grew up piss poor. 6 siblings in a 3 bdrm all sharing everything. I wanted $ to improve my situation. Definitely did not want my children to ever want so I kept on buying or saying yes when appropriate. Whatta fucking bonehead mistake. Wife has been toast since 2011. She been in autopilot due to daily meds to maintain stability. I pretty much spoiled the kids. Not here.
Isaiah Robinson
because you're old, man. here's something to understand; your enjoyment of those things depends on the context of ~50 years of compounding experience gains. to you, tinkering on the bronco reignites a wealth of memories and satisfying skills. but what to you is a comfy reminder of the 50 times in your life you've adjusted valve lash on a shitty carbeureted engine, is a tedious chore to your brat children. you have entered the stage in your life where all of your stories converge in a seamless, ever shifting, acid-like narrative that only you can truly understand. what you want from your family (understanding) is impossible to attain, even if you have a son or mentee who's committed himself to understanding your experience. i watched my father go through the same struggle and tried to help/listen to him as much as possible, but even the best intentions can't fill in 50 years worth of experience. it's time for you to shore up any old male friends you've had so you can relive the old memories with someone who knows, and then do whstever the fuck you want for yourself and whoever wants to listen. good luck oldfag
Christopher Brooks
You need to into alpha chad, but 25 years ago user. At this point, you're fucked. If you buy a new family, you'll have all the same problems unless you unfuck yourself first. You gotta have that shit on lockdown from the beginning.
Protip: sell your link, buy a yacht, get massive yacht and life insurance, go sailing around the world, "accidentally" hit a reef and die, donate your millions to a worthy charity while only leaving a "fuck you" in the will for your family.
Only way to recover from this embarrassment, desu.
Nicholas Martinez
Umm, I’m already rich. Made my 1st million in 1999 and been going vertical ever since. Net worth of $23M before real estate trust. It’s not about $.
Thomas Reyes
Just do it like Nike Why haven't you
Joshua Wood
atleast you have some kids man.
Chase Hill
Very based. Really!
Liam Stewart
Happy bday big guy.
Parker Butler
>Should I leave em all when my stack hits 8 figures? so what are you even asking? family advice? just leave them now.
Xavier Jackson
pretty cringey larp thread u got here sage
Landon Sanchez
Your mistake in life is believing a bunch of propaganda about gratitude and hard work, you somehow believe that if you work hard and put time into relationships that it will cause a reciprocal relationship of care from others. This is admirable but it doesn't work like that in real life, I've met tons of hard working dads who get treated like shit at home, the truth is you need to do everything in your life FOR you, because YOU enjoy it, and free yourself from desires that are contingent on other people (admiration etc) humans are inherently social beings so its hard, but you need to learn to enjoy the process of living. Whether its making tons of money or finding a hobby, stop seeking gratification and respect from your relationships with other people.
Jayden Reyes
That’s the paradox, we who grow up poor become good men and providers, yet our children up up fucked because we spoil them. It’s not too late, you can make changes at any age, it’s just harder to break yourself from the mindset. If you want to really make changes, you could see a couples councillor, let the wife know you’re feeling under appreciated. Really talk things out. As another user said, running off just presents the same problems usually. Being a 50 year old boomer in this day and age is younger then it was 30 years ago though, the world is still your oyster in a lot of ways.
Adam Brown
Just do you oldfag, wanna leave? Then fucking leave and never look back. Go live in SEA cheap and free ish, wgaf?
Bentley Gomez
Thanks user Food for thought. Not trying to be a prick but that sounds too “country” for me. I’m more Better how? More of a PS4 guy. Father Time is not on my side. It the F U act sounds kinda cool. True. >writes tuition checks for my dumb ass seeds without ambition.
Jeremiah White
I moved out before college. I didn’t like my dad, my mom was a bitch. We faked it and got along until they passed in 2004. I don’t have much dealing with my siblings.
