So my plan was to build credit so I could purchase an investment property and rent it out - creating my first passive income business.

I asked my dad if he wanted to co-authorize a credit card with me so he could help me out. He didn't like it so I got my own credit card.

I asked him if he would want to make purchases with it - since I don't really buy much- so he could help me build credit. He said yes.

But along the way, when he gets upset or emotional, he'll refuse to use it.

It's not really a big deal, just frustrating when your parents don't want to help you out.

Oh well.

Being an entrepreneur is taking control of your life regardless of what happens with other people.

Dude buy your gas for your car with the credit card. its consistent and easy to pay off. You should have solid credit in less than 6 months. Dont blame others - take control of the situation.

edit; just read the other responses, glad we're all on the same page haha

You're not the first, and you're not the last. Parents are humans just like the rest of the world. They have their views, opinions, beliefs, and depending on your personality and theirs it may clash in a big way. In my experience be glad they're not helping you. And I say this, because it can be your biggest blessing. Some parents enable their children. This becomes unhealthy, learned behavior, and dependent on others to solve your problems for you. And I'm sure plenty have the same comment as yours. "My parents won't help me." Well if you look at all the children whose parents help them, they usually don't know how to problem solve, spoiled, and never become wealthy or rich, because everything is handed to them.

I once read some billionaires tell their children to learn on their own and help themselves. One even asked for my guidance once and was upset, irate, and feeling sorry for themselves. There are lessons learned in having to learn to solve problems, move through obstacles, and find solutions. The biggest favor they can do is, let you fail as fast as you can, so you know the answers. You may need to network, do the foot work, and build credibility with your character and communication style, but you sure don't need your parents.
