     For years, a man and his parents had a sour relationship because his parents had freely paid for his siblings while rarely involving themselves in his life. In an attempt to turn around the relationship, the man sent his mother and father an itemised bill of expenses, sparking a huge debate online.

     The anonymous man, now 34, explained on Reddit that his parents expected him to be independent the minute he turned 18. They gave him the money they had saved up for his education and they started charging him rent. With his parents' money, a partial scholarship, and his wages, he was able to scrape by.

     The man went on to say that his parents had not presented him with the same option as his siblings, who lived at home all through university and afterwards. He then sent his parents and siblings an invitation to his upcoming wedding, to which they responded by asking why they weren't involved in the planning.

     The man then responded by sending an itemised bill for everything he had paid for himself that his parents had freely given his brother and sister. He said that if they wanted to be a part of his life, they had to ante up. His parents said they couldn't afford it, as they were still in debt from helping his siblings out.

     The man then asked Reddit if he was the "a**hole" for telling his parents he was willing to sell them his forgiveness. Since posting, the man's thread has received over 2,000 comments, with many people assuring him he wasn't being unreasonable.

     The situation has sparked a debate about how parents should handle financial matters when it comes to their children. While some believe parents should be equal in their support of each child, others argue that different children have different needs and that parents should be allowed to make decisions based on their individual situations.

     No matter the outcome, it's clear that the man's relationship with his parents will take time and effort to repair. It's important to remember that forgiveness is a two-way street, and both parties need to be willing to work together in order to move forward.
