I am finally getting a job, so when I told my parents about how I won't need their money to go the mall anymore I felt mature and glad I wasen't going to have to keep asking them from cash. Well, in the middle of the conversation my mom was like "You do know that you are putting a third in the bank and giving a third to us right?" I couldn't believe that I have to pay them my money. My dad was like "Well what about our hard earned money? We give it to you two (my sister and I) all the time. Besides the family needs it." Um hello, isn't that what you two are for? My mom thinks since I have a job I have to pay "room and board" WTH?! Are my parents being unreasonably rediculous here???
(Keep in mind I'm earning minimum wage here, so saving up for anything now is foolish)
The first couple of people who answered your question must be about 14. Comming from someone whos almost 20 years old and has been through the same thing, im telling you it does suck. But your parents are right. The same thing happened to me, I was living off my parents, not having to pay them a dime, but the second a child gets theyre first job, they start having responsibilities. There is no place in life that you can live where you get free room and board, free food, free laundry services, free clothes etc. NO place. Your parents house is the only exception, until you get a job. Its better to learn these responsibilities when your young. It may suck but this is really good for you, not only are you learning now so that its not so hard later in life, but your helping out your family. So no, you are not being unreasonably ridiclous, any kid with a first time job would feel the same way, I did too. But what your parents are doing is very good for you and them both, and you will learn that. It will suck sometimes, just keep your head up and know that some really good things will come our of this in the long run. Dont worry! :]

Thanks =]. You changed my mind about it. I guess they are just trying to show me what it's like in the real world. Thanks also for putting your answer in a nice way..Well, my first paycheck is Saturday, and I'm gonna give them a 1/3. Thanks again!
