We used to have more money, but ever since my dad got hurt- we don't have much money. I know my parents are trying to hide it from me and my older brother. But, it's obvious. They barely had enough money to buy christmas presents and food this month. If you offer them money, they turn it down. Any ideas on how I can help? My parents each work 2 jobs.

hco_babe answered Friday December 16 2005, 2:13 pm: offer to help pay for little things. (you and your brother could both get small jobs. nothing big.) but other then jobs, i would just say help around the house. clean up when you're not asked. just do whatever you can to keep your parents stress-free. (they are obviously under a ton of stress already.) i think they would really appreciate some extra help and cleaning up. [ hco_babe's advice column | Ask hco_babe A Question ]
bob_sayz_it answered Friday December 16 2005, 2:11 pm: because you havve money to offer your parents, use it for things that they would get you before. also sometimes go out with your frends and use your money to buy a meal so that way your parents will like be using your money but they wont know it. and maybe i think they have these like stamps you can use to get food i think. hope i helped and hope ur dad gets better soon!

lalathepinkbunny answered Friday December 16 2005, 1:29 pm: If youa nd your brother can, get your own jobs so you can buy all the stuff you need or want with your own money. This will take a lot of stress of your parents. You could also help out around the house whenever you have the chance. [ lalathepinkbunny's advice column | Ask lalathepinkbunny A Question ]
Airykah answered Friday December 16 2005, 1:11 pm: Offer to do the small things. Maybe tell them that you want to make dinner tomorrow night and to plan on that, or maybe you could clean the house or take on other odd jobs to make their home life that much easier. It would also be cute to create an I-O-U coupon book with things of that nature in it! They'll appriciate the effort, regardless of money. Remember: It's the thought that counts!
