I’m the person who asked the question below: “I have some essential expenses this month, so I’m taking on more work and won’t be able to meet.”
This content is machine-translated.
When I explained the details to my papa, he said, “How about an early birthday present?”
It looks like this will end up being my birthday present.
Is something like this okay…?

It’s just a suggestion, not a decision.
If you don’t like the suggestion, you can simply turn it down.
“Wait, are you getting me a birthday present? I’m so happy. But for my birthday, I’d really like something a little nicer. So I’ll work hard this time.”
By the way, what I want right now is this bag by ○○. I’ve wanted it for a while. Oh, I’m just saying what I’d like—I’m planning to save up and buy it myself someday.
Something along those lines, said in a slightly coy way, might work.

If I were the man, I’d say no.
Women who tolerate bad papas also play a part in creating them. So if you’re uncomfortable with it, I think your only options are to clearly say you don’t like it or end the relationship.

They’re both at fault, really.
> “I have some essential expenses this month, so I’m taking on more work and won’t be able to meet.”
There’s no need to meet a man who would make a woman say something like that, and no need to meet a woman who would say it either.
It’ll just turn into an awkward, half-hearted arrangement that’s no fun for either of them.

The questioner may have thought the birthday twist was a satisfying punchline, but personally, I found it a little weak. I’ve heard papa-katsu stories with much more impactful endings. So I’d say it’s still acceptable.
That said, something about it feels off. They cast the line themselves, with a little ulterior motive, and the fish they caught turned out to be more disappointing than expected. It seems to me that the responsibility lies with the person who cast the line in the first place. After all, they must have known the fish in that pond were pretty unimpressive. It’s safer not to get your hopes up without any basis.

It depends on how much you usually receive from that papa and how expensive the gift is.
I’d be happy if it felt thoughtful, but it doesn’t seem that way to you, does it?
Then I’d say no.

What was the essential item, exactly?
I do wonder why everyone seems to assume they’re automatically entitled to birthday presents. But since he said he wanted to see you and offered to support you, wouldn’t accepting it mean things would go the way he intended? ( ˙꒳˙ )???
He really wants to meet you, huh~ (＞＜) If you’re not comfortable with it, all you can do is say, “A birthday present is a bit much…”
Hmm, it depends on what the essential item is. If it’s a car, then sure!

If you ask me whether it’s acceptable or not… I’d say no. But apparently, your papa (a male supporter) thought it was acceptable.
Going from “Should I help you out?!” to an actual birthday present… That’s beyond anything I would’ve imagined.
If the “necessity” was something like a bag or a watch, I could understand it as a birthday present, but…
What exactly counts as a necessity? It’s not the same as everyday household items, after all. Maybe a reference book or something?
Even if it was a reference book, though, it would still feel kind of sad as a birthday present…
