want to smoke without parents restricting me

You may live under his roof, but did he earn the money?

No.

You did. Spend it as you please. And he should respect that.

That's the only point you really should have to make, but what it comes down to, he can always hold his house over your head (no pun intended.) There's a good chance you're just going to have to deal with whatever he puts out, as long as you want to live there, and in all honesty there is nothing you can do about that.

But simply tell him, it's your money, you earned it, the only persons name on the check is yours, and he has no right to the money even if only for monitoring purposes. It's yours to spend as you will.

 

That only applies if you're paying him rent. Youre 18, you're an adult, if you don't like his rules, start paying your own way. His house, his rules.

You should save most of the money you earn, because you need it later. You never know when an emergency will arrise, life if you break your bong the day after a breakup - you'll want to have enough emergency cash to be able to buy a new one and continue smoking

You might be able to get your parents to let you spend part of it and save part of it, like putting $100/week (or whatever, I have no idea what you're making) away and then having the remainder to spend for yourself. That way you'll have a little money saved, and still get rewarded for working hard. Or so you should convince your parents

 

Don't say shit about buying weed man.

Just look your father in the eye as a man and say "It's my money, I earned it, and I'm going to spend it as I please."

Literally. If he can't respect that, then maybe you should question your respect for him. You don't have to argue about weed at all, don't let it even come to the subject, it's besides the point.

Your money. Your puchases.

And if he decides to kick you out, well go sober for awhile, save that money, buy a small place or an apartment, then smoke til you can't piss straight, and go visit your dad while you're that high.

 

Ask your parents to see their paychecks. I'm willing to bet they won't want to share, so calmly explain that you've got a job and what you earn is a private matter between you and your employer. Maybe ask a friend to drive you to work when you're picking up your check.

 

Wow, do none of you have any respect for the fact that your parents feed & clothe your whiney asses, and in many cases it looks like pay for your weed too? Shit, you don't even pay your own way to work, so if it wasn't for your parents cheuffering you back and forth, you wouldn't even HAVE a job.

If putting a roof over you freeloaders' heads isnt' sharing, I don't know what is.

 

First of all, if parents aren't prepared to feed and clothe their children, they should not have children in the first place. I don't think anyone here said their parents buy their weed, either.

If HighHaze is working at his own job, why doesn't he get to decide how to use his money? No one's saying he's entitled to flaunt his smoking, but why not give him a little privacy with his money? I mean, in the end I guess it comes down to what your parents are like and the fact that they've caught you "plenty of times" already.

And weebl...when I said "share"...I meant share the information. As in, tell him how much they make if they want to know what he makes. K, bye.

 

Who exactly are you talking to here? Income is a private matter, regardless if they provide shelter and food. Nobody said anything about them paying for weed, at least I didn't see that post if someone did. I think it's better for parents to let thier kids figure out financial situations themselves. If they force their kids not to spend their money and watch everything they do then once they are free they're not going to know how to deal with it themselves.

There is no need to get your panties all bunched up.

 

Go buy a cheap one dollar diamond ring and an ounce and tell your dad the ring costed you 300 dollars.

 

do what u gotta do, but in the end its usually better if you just tell them you smoke right off the bat

 

LMAO

 

i like this idea alot

 

This.

Sorry, but if you have money and are over 18, why not move out?

 

I would be so fucking flipped pissed if my parents checked my bank account and kept track of my money. Now your dad is right, put some money in the bank. Don't spend it all on the reefer hehe. Also, if it's pissing you off that much and cant get anything through to him, move out. Easier said than done I know that. Go off to college and live on your own, you'll have the time of your life. All my money during freshmen year from my parents went to pot,beer,ramen noodles....in that order.
