You know what really shits me off? Parents who think they can stick their fingers in the control of your life. I'm nearly 20, and I have a 2 year old son whom I'm responsible for, not to mention my partners just been made redundant so that's 2 people besides myself who I have to budget for each week. My mother decides, regularly, to take control of my finances, and subsequently my freedom, by paying off laybys and buying me cool but utterly unnecesary things which I MUST repay her for, nearly immediately. I had my glasses on layby as I couldn't afford 400 odd dollars upfront and was paying them off regularly so what does she do? Without consulting me, she pays them off and lumps me with the news that my next pay check is hers now. Now, as does everyone I'm sure, I have bills. Phone, rent, groceries, countless things I have to make regular payments for and compared to her, they mean nothing. She actually expected to get more then half of this weeks pay, leaving me with $60 to pay my phone bill, buy groceries and cigarettes and make sure that I have money for bus fares etc. Fuck that for a joke.
