Parents.....

Dutch. You should look into finding a way to be more independent and be less reliant on your parents. I graduated HS when I was 16 and have never received a handout from anyone or a paycheck I couldn't sign myself. Not every venture I ever started was successful, but I have done pretty well and have learned from every experience. It's nice to stand on your own two feet.

I've got a buddy that tossed $700 worth of very decent looking Koi into his freshly filled 2,00 gallon pond.
In 72 hours, most of them died. He removed a lot of them and placed them into new water where about half of what was left died.
He gave me the one remaining Koi and he is in my 1,400 gallon pond. Helping to cycle the water before I add any more.
In your case, one would think that the impatient party would be the young person..........

I haven't been married as long as some here. But we have been married 30 years. I met her at a country western dance club. I asked her to dance. I was messed up to the gills. Her family was there & I don't think they were very impressed with me.

I asked her out the next night & she wouldn't even let me pick her up. She said she would meet me at the same dancehall. I asked her to marry me & we have been together for over 30 years. Love at first sight is a very real thing. Now her parents think I hung the moon. Ain't live crazy..

Love at first sight happened here, also.

I come from a family of 8 kids, helped raise a few of them. Put myself through college, they did not have the funds to help. Started saving money at 10 as I baby sat.

Met my new hubby at baggage pick up in Florida, after we chatted in a chat room for about 7 weeks. He loves to tell people he picked me up at baggage pick up! We been together ever since (it did take about 1.5 years for me to quit my job and move 2400 miles to marry him)

Then stepdad steps in and says "I don't give a rats *** if I have to buy fish every day for this damn aqu(sutters)opanucs system, im getting fish"

update:
this ended up happening.
It was to expensive and we took the aquaponics system down.

So he did have to buy fish every day?

Sorry to hear about the acquaponics system being dismantled.
