Today, my dad texted me saying he had "big news." I immediately called, thrilled, because I assumed he meant that he finally found a job and that our money troubles were over. The "big news" was him being excited at seeing an actor from one TV show he likes in another TV show. FML

I'll probably get thumbed down to hell, but maybe he should spend a little less time with the tv and little more time with his resume. Being unemployed sucks, but sometimes it's our own fault. We tend to refuse jobs until we find the "perfect" one. Sometimes, we need to do what we can, until we can do what we want.

I hope your dad is actively searching for a job. If not I think its time to tell him to get off his ass, even if you are his kid. Supporting his intrests doesn't pay the bills.

I'm really sorry to say this but your husband is a bum. I'm 18 and I have three jobs. I'm starting to help my parents for the payments. Your husband needs to provide for his own family but he's not even taking it seriously.

Last I checked, they're not from Alabama. So I doubt its her husband..

I know I always get excited when one of my favorite actors/actresses are on another one of my favorite tv shows, but that's sad that the child of the parent worries more about money than the adult. Sorry OP, I hope everything gets better for you!
