Subject: Anyone Never had an allowance?

Written By: Andrew-CoolestDude on 03/02/04 at 11:29 a.m.

I never really had an allowance growing up, it made me furious,
I'll never forget the scars my parents inflicted on me

Andrew, you have the worst sense of entitlement that I've ever seen in any one individual.

Hell, I never got an allowance, and when I DID get a job, I gave the money to my mother, who took care of it so that I would be able to pay my college tuition.  

Of course, some of you might argue that I'm a bit "scarred" :D

DITTO for me!  I don't know anyone who received an allowance.

Andrew, it's a shame you think you are entitled to have everything you think you deserve.  What a horrible way to think and live.  I hope you read Hairspray's post to you in the other thread and take some immediate action to get professional help.

I never had an allowance either. My parents thought that I should be doing chores as if it was my duty in the first place.

However, if I wanted something reasonably priced every once in a while, they would buy it for me, so I guess it all sorta worked out in a way.

Andrew,

You need help. Do you not have a counselor with whom you can speak about all of these issues that plague you? ? ?

These forums and most members are not equipped to help you mentally, physically and emotionally to the degree to which you seem to need.

Again, if you don't presently have it, you should definitely seek professional help in your life, your reality. If you already have a counselor, then they're not doing a good job with you and you should find another. Counselors are supposed to help you.

Frankly, this pattern of behavior is disturbing:

* Blaming your parents for everything, accusing them of scarring you over trivialities like no allowance

* Your constant posts on topics of suicide

* Obsession about an afterlife

* Lack of concern for your life in the now

* Obsession with a girl named "Pam" to the point in which all you think and post about her is related to having sex with her in the afterlife because you can't have her in this life

* Worries about your ending-up in a group home

* Worries about your material possessions if you should end-up in one

* Complaints about how the government should completely support you and your mother, regardless of the level of dissability and capacity to work and lead a productive life

* Your refusal to lead a productive life

* Your continual repetition of all of these subjects

* Adding these topics as an irrelevant invasion to other member's threads

* Pointless hi-jacking of the forums to post things of absolutely no substance, thus pushing other member's threads down the list onto the second and third pages


These messageboards are not the place for you, in my opinion. I think you would do much better in a forum which specializes in your type of issues.

You may have to prepare yourself to be removed. The people are still deciding. If you should remain by popular vote, it will be under the condition that you change your posting behavior.

I used to get an allowance and it worked like this.  

I got $0.10 (ten cents) per week, for every grade I was in.  So when I was in tenth grade, for example, I got $1.00 per week.

And when report cards came in, I got paid for high grades.  I think if I got a 4.0 average I got $4.00 as I recall.

For "big bucks" though, I had my own newspaper route with 75 customers.  ;D

I didn't get a weekly allowance, but my mom would slip me some $$ if I did something other than my regular chores.  If my brothers didn't mow the lawn, I'd get $5 for mowing or if I loaded/unloaded the dishwasher (which was also my brothers' job) I got a couple of bucks.

Hehe... yeah, sometimes I did and sometimes I didn't. It was kind of random. Needless to say, I got used to never spending any of my money. I have a bank account with a couple thousand dollars in it right now, despite never having had a steady job in my life. Oh, I'm a freshman in college, by the way, so nobody gets the wrong idea ;-).

When I was in college, I worked odd jobs for money.  Landscaping, washing rental cars, and so on.  But my Dad would still slip me $6.00 a week on the side, too.  :P
