Your lucky, I have the same issue, but it's with my mother. Never listens to advice, sometimes even doing exactly the opposite of what is said, and it always turns out bad and I'm left cleaning up the mess, which lately has been mostly financial. Pretty much the last 5yrs has been hell for me, much of it attributed to her not listening to me or my fathers advice. She caused my parents to almost be financially ruined, house went into foreclosure, they had to tap into most of their retirement savings and borrow money from family. I had to back out of trying to buy my first house, move in to support the house so they wouldn't lose it, and deplete my savings. Financially, I'm now set back a good 10 yrs from where i was and don't see me fulfilling my dream of home ownership, ever..I worked my ass off over the last 15 yrs to save enough cash to put $100K cash down on a house, now I'd be lucky to scrape together $5K. Thanks mom!
