Am I the only one who found this thread a tad odd?
First the OP shares a story that I didn't find malicious at all, yet he's accused of it by several people.
He asks quite clearly in the title if it is too cheap.
IMO his friend obviously is beyond just being frugal. He has a serious obsession and somewhat debilitating cheapness. His lack of proper parenting because of his cheapness is evident if what the OP says is remotely accureate.
Then I see people compare several different races and ethnic groups to this individual who like I said has some form of mental health issues if he refuses to feed his child proper food because his money obsession is so extreme. Nobody else finds this insulting? I know certain groups are stereotyped as being excessively cheap and sometimes those stereotypes have some valid basis but to just blanket a vast group of people of taking part in similar behaviour to this guy is highly offensive to me.
This isn't just a "hey he's really cheap". This is a get this mofo on A&E pronto because he needs some help.
