i mean if you're just going to ignore an entire post

it's literally the exact same post that you just made but longer and with more desperate sounding "n-no you're w-wrong"
I have no reason to give it attention

And this, people, is why you discipline your children.

[The Resonte!]

if u don't wanna do the bills just don't do them

if they're not done the business will go down so


children do not owe their parents or guardians or whatever for what is essential for life (shelter, food, hygiene, education)

other things are in a grey area

of course it is encouraged to not be an starfish to your parents and help out as long as it's not extremely terrible

if something is yours and is accepted as your responsibility you just gotta do it (pets and such)

congratulations
it's become apparent that nobody should attempt to argue with you because you'll just disregard everything they're said to be a cunt
you wanted an explanation and i gave it to you

you're just mad that I'm not flustered

Giving your children chores and responsibilities is parenting 101. You can't just walk out the door at 18 and take on the full adult responsibility overnight. Managing your time, your expectations and your tasks are vital skills that need to be taught throughout your childhood, otherwise you end up an overly entitled prick who can't take care of himself and wonders why he isn't successful for putting in minimal effort.

brother ur 2 years older than me

Which somewhat makes it sad this you haven't learned some basic concepts of respect yet. It's something you'd expect more of an angsty tween, not of a high school sophomore/junior.  You still have a lot of things to learn both in and out of adulthood.

you say that i'm unable to effectively argue a point? look at what you're doing.
your entire argument against me is that i'm younger than you. what else?

It's ironic that you say this in the same post where you show your incompetence. You quoted a post in a quote box and paraphrased it in your own words to say something that was never said, then you're arguing that it's okay because it's basically the same thing and not in quotations. I gave up on arguing my point due to the fact that we're talking about concepts that are evidently out of your reach; my point isn't that your younger than me, but I can't argue my point (that you're not entitled to anything) because of a lack of maturity and understanding. No point talking to a brick wall.

I'd love to sit here and type out some long essay response, but I need to go to work and support myself to pay my own bills. I'm glad I was taught the responsibility that's enabled me to live independently since I was your age instead of sticking under the umbrella of my parents and believing it was my god-given right.

Learning skills is different than doing someone else's work
Like really learning to do bills at that age is just dumb considering that it'll be quite a while before you'll actually need to know that
Unless it's punishment for something, although imo that's just the parents being lazy and trying to hit two birds with one stone

you live in their house
you eat their food
you don't pay rent
you are cared for if you get sick
don't loving whine

u kno how many abusive parents use this to suppress their children right

i didnt do much at all and when i moved out i could take care of myself 1000% like theres not much to it at all.
then again autopay is common here unless youre talking about household chores stuff, that was baby work, too

yes but I'm being overly hostile about it because that's what I do on the internet
my point is that the parents do things for their children so if the child has to do a bit of work to help out they shouldn't complain
but yea I said it pretty harshly


my best friend was beaten by her parents among many other things so I do know what you're talking about because they used the same excuse

i agree but doing bills grindwork isnt cool. like let the dude mow the lawn or w/e.
kids already have enough homework, seriously, bills are daddy/mommy things

i may live under your roof, but i didnt have that choice, you chose to have me, pricks.

[McJob]

Hey OP, it's alright. Maybe you should move out tomorrow to get away from those clearly abusive parents and live your own damn life.

That's right, you'll never have to pay bills again! Nor will you ever have to take mandatory showers, or brush your teeth, or sleep, or eat or even breathe!

everything you just said here reeks of assumption
i'll go ahead and type out everything that you just assumed about me in this one post because i have literally nothing better to do with my life right now.
you assumed that i:
know nothing about respect
have little to no knowledge of adulthood
am incompetent because i found an easier solution rather than taking the long way around
used my own words when quoting something from someone else
am unable to understand respect and basic responsibility
am immature
am ignorant
am unable to support myself because i lack the skills and knowledge necessary to do so
am living off my parents willingly because i am ignorant

mate you can just forget right off
are you honestly acting like you know my life
come back when you've got an actual argument
