Hey this comes down to being a real mom, im not about to tell you what to do, but i wasn't spoiled as a kid, my family had, money, and they taught me the value of every penny that came and went through my rich white suburban house. I wouldn't have DREAMED of telling my parents that i cant do job and school...
Are you going to tell him that you cant be a good mother and hold down a job and do his laundry and buy all his #### and bend over backwards and let flow the never ending love of a parent?
Time for him to to saddle up and get a hold of life, FOURTEEN is the working age in Massachusetts here... your in the UK in 2 years he can be in a bar getting piss drunk, buying rounds for his friends on YOUR dollar(pound?).
Your not doing him any favors by letting it all slide like this. Keep your fish tank, you earned it, apparently your an exceptional earner, i never had nice stuff like that when i was a kid, i bought my own car at 17, and my HOUSE at 22, I've never stopped busting my ass for everything i have, i never hated my parents, we had our fights, I've even been to jail as a kid for pulling stupid ####. and my parents let me go, well you know what, I LEARNED, and I'm a better person for it today.
His turn. And yours.
Good luck and gods speed, being a parents one of the hardest jobs on this planet, just as long as you don't forget the second hardest...
Being a kid.
thanks for that, im going to show him what you have said, i also know that when i was 15,16 i was out on my own,kicked out for some crap reason and worked 18 hours a day a day when i should have been in college,i once told my dad to shut up and got knocked across the room i dont want him to have to do that of course i dont, but i do want him to give a second thought to what i do for him,and his dad,we may not live together but he gets support from both of us
and as for grand theft auto, if he wants his he will have to get it,by trading some of the games he has or doing some chores!
oh and i did buy him a tank-he left it empty for 2 months sitting on his room floor, said he wanted pirhanas in it or nothing, so nothing it was!
and i dont honestly think i am doing thats much to make a diffrenece to the enviroment
any ways nuff sed!
