  • You need to work on how you ask for things… This isn’t my product and I don’t work for you.

    I don’t know if this is news to you, but the “then” on the end of your statement has some sharp edges on it and represents you as entitled (making you aware if that wasn’t your intention)

    A little more grace goes a long way when you’re asking strangers for help on the internet, friend.






  • You’re not, OP…

    also, feels pretty obvious you haven’t been involved in bidding jobs before - these initial numbers set expectations. If “dad” valued the kid’s talent and time, he would have said, “they’ll give you a number” and/or the message to kid would not have been closed, it would have been open. So instead of, “you’ll do this, thanks bye” it would be a question to kid prior saying, “I know a lot goes into your work, is $500 a good ballpark to give my friend for something like this?”

    It’s about expectations and entitlement - you’re essentially my property, so I decided it would be this is indicative of a problem with “dad’s” approach.
