Do you think this is fair?What should i do?

Question

Ok my mom is always paying my cell phone bill in halfs. I really dont think thata is right. Because she would not pay half of the Water bill or the gas bill, so why pay half of my phone bill.I am 16 and im trying to get a job but my dad wont let me.I want to pay my own phone bill because my phone is always getting cut off, the bill will be 180 and she might just pay 70 thats not right.she should pay ALL of it.Im so sick and tired of this.We Got into a agreement about it.
What should i do?

Me and my sister share a plan.

Answer 1

Umm...just ask her to pay the full bill.

Answer 2

You should let her know how you feel about her only paying half of your bill. Try to explain to your dad that you are getting older and would like your own money. He should let you get a job as long as you don't work too many hours or get off late at night. Tell your dad to take you and pick you up from work if he is worried about your safety. You may want to tread lightly with your mom on the money thing though if it gets to out of hand you may end up not having a cell phone at all.

Answer 3

stop going so over your minutes and you wont have $180 bill.

what your mom is doing is fair...she agreed to pay your cell phone bill (which is nice of her, not like she is required to provide you with a cell phone)

she did NOT however agree to pay for your irresponsibility.
If your plan allows for $70 a month, then thats all you should use, and you shouldnt complain about her not paying for YOUR over usage issues.

try apologizing to her for going over, and tell her how much you appreciate that you have a cell phone at all, and that you'll be more careful in the future, then she might be more willing to pay for an 'accidental' bill of lets say...$100

Answer 4

which one would you rather have lights and water or a phone. maybe your mom is having money problems. since you aint paying any bills you dont have the right to complain about anything. some kids wish that their parents would get them a cell phone and pay the bill. give her a break

Answer 5

If your dad won't let you work then someone (especially Dad) should pay for you cell phone but you should limit your calls enough to cut down at least half on your bill. 180 dollars is way too much for anyone, you should be considerate enough to limit your call then let dad pay for it.

Answer 6

i don't think you should have a cell phone at all. whats the point? what difference does it make how much she pays anyway? it's her name not yours. stop complaining and be grateful your mom pays anything. maybe she can't really afford the stupid thing but is willing to do it for YOU even if that means paying half at a time.
