ahmedelsaka Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 hey, in the summer i saved up a lot of money to get myself a cool skateboard so i can skate with my friends as my old one broke. but when i was going to get it, my dad said to wait after we travel. So i did. after that my dad said that he found my wallet containing the money on the ground and that he will keep it with him for safe keeping until we get back home. so i did. and after we got home he said that he needed it and spent it and will return it to me next month. so i waited. after that he said to wait a week into the middle of the month. so i did. and now he said that he will return it to me later as if it was nothing. I ****ING NEED THEM! i have always been the obediant kid in the family but still neglected and hated as i was the midle child, i never said anything about it in front of them. My dad was always understanding but it cant wait anymore i need it now and now. its this week or never i need it. he just keeps on saying later and later. i swear i need them ASAP. And this isnt the first time, i asked him for an ipod last year for my birthday, and guess what? i didnt get anything. my lil brother asked for one, the exact week after he got him one. my brother asked for an ipad and he got it. my sister asked for a new S3 phone. and she got it. i just want to get my money back! i mean i never did anything to deserve this. I just want my board, ive always loved skateboarding. what can i tell him i need it and fast for this week. Link to post Share on other sites
heather_1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Just be honest with him. I mean if you can't be honest with your own dad there isnt much hope. Tell him that you are sorry but you really need the money as soon as possible as you have been waiting a while and you desperately want to buy the board. Tell him its your release and that you love being able to just go out on your board. Don't sound like your moaning just talk to him calmly and politely. If that fails, you can always get your mum to sort him out. Link to post Share on other sites
mass millz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 That's not cool bro, that was your money to begin with. Think about something that is really important to him that is worth equal value to the money he now "borrowed"...Give him a time limit to pay up before the item goes to the pawn shop Link to post Share on other sites

turnera Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Why do you need it so fast? Not that you don't deserve your money, I'm just asking what the immediacy is. You make it sound like something terrible is going to happen if you don't buy a skateboard this week. As for your money, what does your mother say when you tell her about it?

Nyla Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Since we live in the first world, we have first world problems. What did your father need the money for? Youngest children are often spoiled. Not fair, but it is the truth. Link to post Share on other sites
pteromom Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I would never never never take my child's money and spend it. I am sorry your dad did that to you. It may be time to just start saving again. Think of ways to bring in some $$$ (raking leaves, shoveling snow, taking dogs for walks, etc.) And HIDE your money when you make it. Unfortunately, your dad may not have your money to give it back to you, so you are gonna have to rely on yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
