*gasp* How did you know?!
Your father did pay you OP. He paid you in motivation.
Motivation to write a FML!
Motivation to go get laid perhaps. It's in the dad's words people!!
Some kids get allowances and it's not a new concept. I've never been paid to do chores but it doesn't teach them to be ungrateful; it teaches them to work for their money. Don't judge.
I always got allowance before I got a job. But I did and continue to do chores because I'm a member of the household and I have an obligation to pitch in.
85- the dad also promised. The dad is teaching his kid that they don't have to stand by their word basically. The dad is just a manipulating liar really.
Haha, penis.
2 - I doubt the solution is less self esteem and potentially causing a murder. I once had a very good friend with an abusive father. He walked in on me touching her shoulder platonically and stuck a .22 revolver in my face. Keeping my wits, and 16 year old understanding of the permanence of life, about me, I smartassed my way out the door and out of vomiting in terror. Perhaps OP's dad isn't abusive but, "Get ******" sounds pretty openly hostile. Good advice over. Go with 2's suggestion.
68 sounds like you need to take some ninja classes my friend! Turn that gun around on him!
#140 OP's dad did sth wrong, by not keeping his promise to pay her, but it's not a reason to hate him. Do you realize how hard parents work for their children ? Waking up in the middle of the night when they're babies, giving them baths and getting them dressed, paying for all the things they need, etc. Actually, I think OP's dad was wrong to offer to pay her. You shouldn't need to pay your kids in order for them to help around the house.
Nobody wants to go to prison for shooting someone in the face. you should have told him to shoot you, no one will. People flash guns like they bluff in poker.
Grade A Parenting. Remember this day when you choose his nursing home.
He can pay for his own nursing home with the money he didn't give OP. haha.
I know his dad told him he would but I hate when kids expect payment for chores. Your parents pay for everything for you to keep you alive. You can't just cut the lawn or take the trash out for free?
Teaching your kids to expect somethjng after a job well done, is the best way to show them why a full time job is neecassary, that $10 a week for chores shows them that working lets them have things they want not just things they need to live. Otherwise tey will never move out or get a good job because there is nothing in it for them. Every one is slightly greedy it is what makes us do things.
Great parenting Not sure but I think he might have insinuated to get paid be prostitution. A+ OP's dad
Did you ask your Mom?
Really? I find it normal to mow the lawn and help out in the house without getting paid for it.
97- Holy shit. There are other honest ways to make money you know.
I asked my dad for money in return for chores. He showed me how much I cost a month. I owe him a shitload more chores.
The problem 93 is that he agreed to pay her for her work. She earned her pay. When she asked for it he told her he wouldn't pay in probably the most hostile way possible. That isn't the way a decent person or parent acts. If there was no payment agreed on and she made an assumption she'd be paid your point would stand. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
Dad knows best…?
Thats mandy actually...get your shit together man
Wanky dog is much funnier
I feel you're pain. I hate when people do that, sorry OP
Just slowly siphon the cash from him bit by bit (subtly) until you have fair compensation. He probably wouldn't notice if he didn't notice all the hard work you did for him last week
66- Yes, it's true that doing a few chores is expected, but in this case OP's father promised to pay her for the work, and not only went back on that promise, but spat a hostile remark at her when she brought it up to him. That's bad parenting. It just teaches your kids that everyone is out to **** them over, and that they should never put in any effort into jobs because the people with authority over them are just going to jerk the reward that they have worked towards out from under them as soon as the work is done. I do agree, however, that OP shouldn't steal money from her father in retaliation. One wrong doesn't fix another one.
Unless OP is a brat and won't do anything anyways. Op may only do things when money is involved. Maybe Op is a saint, who knows.
tell him to go **** himself and take the money and run
Run where?
Hell Yes!!
