my dad is mean!?

Question

My parents are having alittle finicial problems, were not poor (in fact this is my brand new laptop)but everybody has their problems.

My dad just bought a new coat (expensive), a $1500 motorcycle, and he got a new credit card. Yet he expects us to not buy anything unless it is a nessicity.

I didnt get any new clothes for Christmas, exect 1 pair of jeans, because my dad didnt feel like buying anymore. I used the money that my Grandmom and Sister gave me to buy someclothes so i got 2 more pairs of jeans. I still didnt have any shirts to wear for back too school.So he has the idea to wake me up early in the morning and make me unload cable out of boxes for like 30 min. Also stomp boxes for another 15 min and load them in the truck for 15 min. For that he gave me $100.

I got a 2 hoodies and shirt with that and the rest of the money was spent on little things. Now i asked him for $15 and he says "no". I dont wanna ask my mom becuase she living just like us.watcanidoim 13

im sorry i didnt mean $100 i meant $10 typo

ok soo it was $100 but im not spoiled only reason i have a laptop is becuase i need one for school and he motorcycle was 15000

Answer 1

I would suggest that you ask your parents for an allowance for chores that way - at the end of the week you will have some type of currency in your pockets and your parents don't feel like they are just giving you money for nothing. I really think that if you make an agreement with them you will appear more mature and responsible. Also, how you spend your allowance will send the message whether you are financially responsible and mature or the opposite.
Just think : When I was 13 yrs.old living in New York, My father made me do chores such as cook (yes, cook) clean and do my homework after I got home from school around 4pm. If it dinner wasn't on the table by 6pm we wouldn't have dinner - no pizza/no Chinese/no fast food. You were sent to bed hungry. The house had to be swept, dishes had to be washed etc. or else there would be no television after homework was done. Every night for 7 yrs (maybe more). I did as he asked (at times demanded) and received no compensation whatsoever. We weren't poor (we were middle class) he gave me nothing but he clothes on my back and roof over my head - no extras, no name brand stuff and no luxuries. I am 25 yrs. old now, and as I look at my hands marked with scars from the stove, iron, hot water etc. I thank God I got through it. Sometimes, things aren't as bad as we think it is. I agree you need clothes etc. but honestly - you could have it worse.

Answer 2

So who told you you had a right to dad's money? sorry kid, get a job. You worked for an hour and got $100? doesnt sound like you worked that hard either. Dad puts a roof over your head, meals on the table and new laptops? and you complain. Sounds like you are having a temper tantrum and arent getting your way.

There are so many kids in the world without the necessities of life, not even clean water. you should get off your new laptop, find your dad and tell him how grateful you are.

In other words, grow up...

Answer 3

You can't really do anything. Maybe try getting a part time job delivering papers or something. That work your dad had you do was pretty easy for 100 bucks lol. Why not ask your dad if there are things you can do around the house to get a set allowance every week.

Answer 4

Mom and Dad don't owe you anything but a roof over your head and food in your belly. Everything else is just gravy. How old are you? Could you get a job? Babysitting pays well. $100 for 30 minutes of work is a sweet deal if you ask me. Mom and Dad earn their money. Why should they just GIVE it to you? Ask them for other ways to earn money so you can buy your own things. Look around you and see what things you have, stop focusing on what you don't have. :o)

Answer 5

What should you do??? Brand new laptop...but complaining about not getting clothes for Christmas! I'm sure you've got plenty in your closet to wear. Look back at your first sentence and be a little (read a lot) more thankful for what you have.

Answer 6

Answer 8

Learn tolive out of thrift store or else see if dad has some more work for you to do...It is a tough world and you might as well get the feel of it now,,,You have to work and produce in this world as there are no free lunches.

Answer 9

Answer 10

It sounds like your dad is selfish. It's a good lesson for you when you decide right from wrong.

However, he did pay you $100.00 for an hours work. Not too shabby.

Ask him why he behaves the way he does. It sounds like your mom is dependent on him financially or she would have been gone a long time ago.
