Your existence disgusts me. I have three jobs and I don't even whine, yet you spoiled brats get everything handed to you on a silver damn platter and still find things to complain about.</p>
<p>Everyone here thats trying to make themselves look rich and seem spoiled and complains about stupid little crap is ignorant. I don't have a job and yes, we're upper middle class but I feel soooooo bad to waste my parents' money because I know how hard they work to earn it. Yeah my favorite store is A & F and yeah I go on little shopping sprees sometimes because I'm a girl and thats what we do but you seriously have to know when enough is enough and spending 300 bucks at a time on nonsense that you're gonna use like once or twice or complaining about some freakin flip-flops is rediculous and immature so get over yourselves. Ugh seriously. I'm sorry if I made anyone mad... well I'm really not because It's absolutely appaling that you behave like 5 year olds. Just stop and think for like two minutes and you'll get it. Kaythanksbye.</p>
<p>
Will you marry me?</p>
<p>Of course ;]</p>

<p>okay that's great but i find that to be extremely hypocritical. if you were that concerned about spending their money you'd have a job and make your own money for your A&F clothes</p>
<p>Mmmkay I have a few A & F clothes. It's my favorite store because it's always so warm there and I love how it smells and I could just live there. I shop at like Khols and stuff usually because I don't care too much for brands or any of that stuff. I don't have a job because I can't drive yet and my parent's are lame and wont drive me anywhere so even if I did have a job I'd get fired. As soon as I get my license I'm going job hunting and instead of spending that money, its all going straight to my account for college. I thought it through years ago. Thanks.</p>
<p>someone asked me

why don't you have $20
[/quote]
</p>
<p>well, I'm not from America, I'm from Egypt and I just did the math for everyone so that no one had to multiply and use the exchage rate...and I'll admit: they are a little expensive here.</p>
<p>another person asked:

what do you spend your allowance on?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>um..if I'm not saving up for something like I am now, then I usually have enough to see a movie and go to a restaurant with friends. If I'm not going out then the money stays in my wallet.</p>
<p>oh, and one more thing:</p>
<p>I'd like to get a job like some kids said, but unfortunatly, things like that don't happen here; my parents refuse to let me get a job before i graduate from college (which I'm not even in yet).
and, here, people HAVE to live with their parents til they get married, so basicaly: I'm obligated to live off my parents.</p>
<p>are you serious? You seem very spoiled in that post, I dont know if you are or not but you could earn your own money to buy those flip flops. Also, you couldnt have used your allowance to buy them? You should be thankful that you have such generous parents and if you are not old enough to get a job to get the sandals( which I think you are), you could collect bottles and cans for money or do things for you parents or neighbors. I colloect bottles and you would be suprised on how much oen can make, last week I brought in a big loan and made $87.26. So stop nagging you parents for the money and do something your self to get them.</p>
<p>Big whammy18,</p>
<p>I did before even reading your post. Today, after realizing that I go through too much trouble to get money from my parents, I decided to work for money. Instead of doing chores around the house out of the goodness of my heart or to help my mom, I do them for money (and a rediculous wage; my hard labor and toilet scrubbing are worth a hell of alot more than a few dollars.)
I'm not as soiled as you might think, I'm spoiled yes, but not to the extent you, or anyone else on the forum, are describing.</p>
<p>Hmmmmm, there are people in Africa who would be extremely thankful just to HAVE a pair of shoes; perhaps even food on the table. Golly, let's be thankful for the things we have already, shall we?</p>
<p>you should really do chores out of the goodness of your heart or to help your mom... not for money. after all, your mom did go through labor to have you. and that's something that is far worse than anything. guys are so lucky they dont have to go through that.</p>
<p>also, they do pay for everything else - food, water/electricity bills, etc. so be thankful you have parents. my friend lost his dad to a brain tumor when he was one. he now has a stepdad who doesn't care at all about him or his college education.</p>
<p>I used to do chores to help her but since I can't get a job and they refuse to give me my allowance, I have no choice, besides, it's only a few dollars anyway. and this is only temporary anyway. I'm actually quite sensitive when it comes to my parents and I do alot for them- why by just being their son I have given them something very precious; parenthood.</p>
<p>I need to go to sleep. To sleep in the sweatpants I took from a friend (or that she gave me, rather) and in the shirt I got for free from high school soccer. Then I need to wake up and change into my cute thrift store shirt, awesome jeans that I got for like $15 last year, and Adidas sandals (~$10) that I've had forever. Then I'll check my bank account online and see that I now have thousands of dollars from an accident settlement completed yesterday. I'll be glad that now I can pay my mom back for some things, nothing specific. I won't spend it other than that. I'll hopefully get a real job at the end of this month. I'll be satisfied that in at least one aspect I can know that I'm better than all the rich kids at my school and that I don't look exactly like them in their A&F, AE clothing. </p>
<p>But most of all, I'll go on loving my life knowing that there's much more to it than the material things I may sometimes want.</p>

<p>I live A&f too, but you would wanna live there??....with the loud techno music all the time and the smell of cheap perfume?</p>
<p>IDK i just love it there. And I like the smell of cheap [[A&F]] perfume. Who doesn't!? Rahhh.</p>
<p>OMG Stuck-on-1700... you're a GUY!? That makes it even worse. I think it's helarious now. Mwahaha wow. Get over yourself.</p>
<p>jezz, stuck-on-1700, you're such an idiot. grow up, go get a job, be a man for godssake. disgusting.
tell us the truth, are you gay?</p>
<p>lol I cant stand those type of stores.....the loud music thumping in my ears makes me feel very out of place.....reallly, well awkward</p>
<p>just b/c stuck-on wanted a $20 pair of flip flops and then argued with his parents about it doesn't make him a brat. That's crap when parents refuse to buy something so cheap b/c they think it's a waste.</p>
<p>Honestly, my parents are cool, but I've got friends whose parents are very similar. It's just like they do anything and everything to **** their kid off. Like one friend of mine wanted to buy a pair of tennis shoes that were $20 more than the ones he and his parents had originally picked out, and they wouldn't let him get it. Come on! All of this and at the same time his mom and dad spend a TON of money on themselves. </p>
<p>I suggested he put them in a lower-class retirement home. Luckily, my parents are very nice but have raised me not to be a brat and freak out over stupid things so they will be taken care of when they're elderly.</p>
<p>My kids won't be spoiled, but I won't be an ass to them either.</p>
<p>But ya you shouldn't get into a full-blown argument over flip-flops. That's kinda gay. lol</p>
