Now I understand. Maybe if you explain to them you are trying to get yourself set up properly, they will understand your situation. After all, loans must be paid off. I'm sure at the very least, your mother will accept it if you hand out a less than 25 % of what you currently do until you finish paying your loans and are settled comfortably.

Because books.
Could you backhand it a little bit, P-C?
Like, instead of handing them checks or cash, open college accounts in their names? (Not for the married one, I guess.) Some kind of account they couldn't access until a certain time, but for a good cause?
It would be hella inconvenient, but the satisfaction could be worth it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
P-C, can I suggest one thing?
Just for tonight, put it on the back burner. It's your BIRTHDAY, man! You should spend the rest of your damn birthday in a stress-free state of mind. And if that means turning off your phone and not talking to your mother, at least for tonight, then do it. And cram all the thoughts of the Obligatory Familial Money Dispersal into a locked box in your mind until tomorrow, and think about pleasant things.
Like S3 of VM. Like pretty girls. Like making out with pretty girls.
I mean it. It's your birthday, man. No insane family stress for the rest of the day. It'll be there tomorrow; that's a given, unfortunately.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yeah, Steph's idea is good. Forget I said that.

Believe me, Sparky1 doesn't need to practice.
It's true that it comes naturally to me. Which reminds me, I have to wrap your birthday present.
Bawhahahahaha!
