But wait... aren't you the kid whose dad gave him a black Mercury Marauder? Sell it, buy a used Toyota, and live off that. :) Or get a job. And you'll be needing a roommate. Seriously. Get over not likeing people.

i dont have a black mercury murauder.


you want to see my car? it's not even mine, it's his...


say hello to 84 camry with 230,000 miles on it.


only reason i got it is cause he's got no use for it. the car's worth less than 400 dollars...probably more like 200.

Dang, your dad doesn't seem to be the nicest guy in the world. And you seem to be pretty angry with your parents... I hope that's your step-mother that you called a whore, not your mother. Anyway, I think you should try to fix your relationship with your dad rather than moving out. You're what, going into your freshman year of college? So you're still kind of immature, things may improve as you get older.

Something that might help is doing things without being told to... like mow the lawn when it needs to be mowed. I love mowing my lawn. I have to fight with my little brother over who gets to mow it (he wants to do it so badly because he gets paid). Try to contribute around the house.

no, it's definitely my mother that i called a whore....


she was one of those sluts you see at college frat parties who were provided as entertainment for the frat brothers. in my eyes, she's a filthy whore. that is my moral objection to her, other than the fact she is a bitch.

I told him "give me the same deal you gave that bitch (pointed at my sister)"

he said "fine, 400 a month."

i said back "no, you ass, your whore of a wife was giving her 500 a month plus handouts whenever she asked!"


and that's pretty much where the conversation stopped.




this is the same bastard who tells me i'm completely useless and contribute nothing, then asks me to build him a computer, fix his current computer, fix anything electronic, and build him furniture, all w/o pay, all in the same day. and then tells me to mow the lawn.

glad my family isn't fscked up like that :Q

Dang dude if I was your dad you would be at the hospital getting my boot out of your rectum. Calling your Mom a Ho and your sister a bitch is not good thing to do.

you're editing on me, making it tough to keep up :p


i contribute far more than anyone else in my family. if you scroll up, you would see that.

my brother sits in his room, does absolutely nothing except screaming at other dumbasses online because they are better at counterstrike than he is. or something like that. i really dont give a damn.

my sister does equally nothing, except for fixing the occasionnal meal... like once a month or something.

Considering your dad has been housing, feeding and providing for you for your short miserable life and is offering you $500 a month to get out of HIS house I would think his contribution is larger than yours. :D

housing/feeding/providing up till now is required by law. that's the sacrifice he made to have a little fun with that whore 18 years ago.

Don't live in Southern California.

You can get a multi-room apartment, cable, power, and water for $500/mo here in southern Indiana. It's not a happening place, but we have pretty much everything here:

Theme park
Multiple Universities
Lots of nature parks
Broadband

Be smart with the money your dad gives you. Use it to save up and build some wealth.

Edit: Also, southern Indiana is what I like to call "Old Time American". Lots of churches, a very 50s society. That's one of the things I like about it. It's a (for the most part) very moral area.

This is a prime example of what happens when you don't train your children right. Your dad should have sent you to me when you was a pup I would have shown you the light. Now your all mean like a Pitbull raised wrong only thing to do is put ya down. :(

Yep. I got sent to boarding school, and later lockdown reform school, when I starting copping that attitude in my mid-teens. Luckily my parents could afford the 50K+/year tuition, I know many folks cannot.

i know the commandment. and though i am christian, i refuse to honor it, knowing it may condemn me in the afterlife. i accept that.

respect, to me, is earned. i will not honor them solely because they fvcked it up 18 years ago.

LOL Why should your father have to earn anything from you? You?re just an ungrateful punk kid mooching money because you can?t even get out of the damn house on your own.

if i weren't tied to the university i'm going to now, i'd have left and gone to that state that was offering huge incentives to get college students to come there and live there for 5 years or so. wouldnt be too bad a deal.

unfortunately, i'm tied to a university in southern california. so i cant afford rent. so i'm stuck.

I'm sorry dude, but even though your dad seems to fly off the handle easily, you blow up even worse. In fact, you're an ass, and no better than him if that's how your exchanges go.

You catch more flies with sugar than vinegar, remember that.

Sometimes you have to tuck away your pride and admit you were wrong, even if it means taking a step or two backwards. For fvck's sake, the man gave you food, shelter, and education for 18 years. At least be grateful for that. Plus, at least he's giving you money to live on. I know people whose parents greeted them at the door with packed bags when they turned 18, and said "you're an adult. Find a job and a place. See ya."

if you really hate your family that much. just leave. Don't take the 500, don't say a word to anyone...just pack up the crap that is actually yours and leave. Shack up with some friends while you grab some manual work and can afford your own place and branch out. bickering with the family accomplishes nothing and it's glaringly obvious you aren't open to communicating calmly with them. So long as you live under your father's dime and eat the fruits of his labor, you really don't have much of a foot to stand on in terms of who's being unfair to who.
