Parents always want to help their children in any way that they can, but that help isn’t always appreciated in the way it should be.

Instead, sometimes it gets to the point where the help is expected.

In today’s story, a dad has been helping his adult son financially by making him part of the family business, but his son is criticizing him instead of appreciating all his dad has done for him.

Now his dad has had enough.

Let’s see how the story plays out…

AITA for wanting my son to give me back the family business he can’t take over?

I 74M have a son who is 47M who got arrested for a DUI over 15 years ago and he is unable to find a regular job.

He has ADHD, is married, and had two daughters.

I hired him in my small business which is an office setting many years ago to give him a job for his family.

His son’s family spends a lot of money.

I have trained him, given him ample opportunity to be successful, and allowed him to hire multiple members of his wife’s family and friends.

I am still keeping the business afloat for him financially, and his wife works a well paying full time job.

They bought almost a million dollar house this year and spend money rapidly like putting their kids in multiple travel sports which cost several thousand a year.

I am not one to tell them how to spend their money but I’m providing context for the story.

He made an agreement with this son…

My son and I had an agreement that I would receive a percentage on any new clients we find which I have found myself.

I’ve had my business for over 50 years.

I enjoy working but being 74, I get tired and stressed easily but it keeps my mind occupied.

His son is mad that his dad is remodeling his home.

My wife and I recently purchased a small home, and my son came over to help me move a fridge.

He started yelling and swearing at me this past week and told me I’m spending too much from the business with my wife and our new home.

I hired some contractors to paint and put in new floors.

He told me he was only giving me $9,000 of a $36,000 payment I am owed.

My wife and I are on a fixed income.

He made a big decision…

I told him to get out, and he had a big outburst swearing, carrying on, and stressing me out.

He doesn’t even do his job, and I am always doing the brunt of the work.

I have decided to take my business back and all my clients and work on my own.

He can figure the rest out himself.

I’m tired of his lack of commitment.

His other kids don’t like this son.

His wife and him have also alienated my other children and family due to their awful drama and bullying tactics.

They didn’t attend a family event over the weekend we had, and honestly it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time.

My younger son and daughter both refuse to be around this son and wife due to how awful they have treated them.

My daughter hasn’t attended a holiday in two years because of this son and his wife and she finally came this past weekend and we had a great time.

AITA to cut my son out of my business?

It sounds like it’s wise to cut him off instead of enabling him.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story…

He pushed his daughter away.

He needs to hire a lawyer.

He needs an accountant.

He should’ve cut off his son a long time ago.

The money is his, not his son’s.

Tough love is the answer.

His son is about to learn a hard lesson!

It seems like it was a long time coming.
