Modern Morals: Our daughter has a low-paid arts job and always needs our financial help - can I tell her to get a proper job?
"She's still relying on us to help her out when she has a cash shortfall - but my wife thinks we should let her follow her dreams"
"Our daughter has been creative since she was a little girl. She always wanted to work in the artistic space, which is what she is doing now. She loves what she does but it's precarious work and she's not earning enough money to get by."
An adult daughter pursued creative interests from childhood and now works in the artistic sector. She loves the work but the field is precarious and does not provide enough income to cover living costs. She continues to rely on her parents for cash when she faces shortfalls. One parent supports continued financial assistance and wants to allow her to pursue artistic dreams. The other parent is concerned about the ongoing reliance and the financial sustainability of supporting her. The situation reflects tension between supporting creative ambitions and managing family finances.
