@Aranpride
same here lol. but what does it do? disappears next day.

she took my wallet today cuz she mad at me =|

@xleahraex3: you do realize only the first sentence applied to you, nothing else at all?

I get $120-140 a week.

I'd tell your parents to get *bleeep* and it's your money.

red pocket money?like China~

The money my parents had took is enough to buy 2 newest computers.....

@xleahraex3 the whole story right here. Your mom raises you, feeds you, buys you things you want already. You are just being greedy and wanting money to spend selfishly. She spent way more then what she gets every years and it is a trade system. Let's say you are the only child but you have 10 cousins. Your mom has to pay those 10 cousins for the holiday but your aunts and uncles only pay you? Plus, most people usually give 10-50 dollars per person so do the math. She takes away your 50 but has to give away another 500.

[quote=iLuvKewkies]Is your mom dumb or something? Like not knowing that PARENTS are supposed to be the ones giving money, not the cousins.
And when she talks about paying to feed you, ask her why she bothered to get pregnant and raise you. Should shut her up with that.
As for her beating you, inquire her about the existence of something called ACS and "Children's rights", and how you could get her selfish a** in jail with one phone call if she tries to beat you.[/quote]

I like your input .
I 100% agree with every point you've made, and the first one i may use soon enough.
I've always thought of telling her about children's rights and such, but she always tells me how would life be without a mother..
Asian discipline... gah it sucks.

If its even a dollar she'd take it.

5$ i'd be so grateful for that.
never had an allowance -_-

Thats the problem, when i need money they will either come up with an excuse related to university.
Anyhow i feel like this is a good time for me to prove im mature enough to understand how to maintain my money..

My parents does that too but I don't mind because they use it to buy food and pay for my piano lessons.
Plus, when I need money, they usually give it to me when I ask.

I used to give my money to my parents so they could save it for me. I was too young to carry tons of money then. Now they refuse to take my red envelopes because I'm old enough now.

I think the problem is that some parents think it's right to keep their child's money away from him/her until the child is old enough to know how to spend the money wisely. I think that's wrong because children should be able to spend their own money so that they don't get the sense that money they get is not theirs, especially in their future (which is when they CAN spend their money freely), where they could get very confused and with dillemas about spending money due to their past problems.

Apparently shes putting it in my bank account.
Guess what? i had to chip in 100 bucks for a New TV, so my bank suffered a blow this year
and
when i ask why i cant keep some money they said why do i have to pay for you when we eat blah bah ..
If i resist, shes going to be like i can hit you because you're misbehaving..

finally she also says that she has to "give the money back to my cousins when its their birthday" as if the whole thing is like a trading system
between our families, when i clearly know its not. The cousins i were with today get to keep their money z_z

@Simonpig,
wow, simliar thing happened to me one time. 50 dollars in my homeroom, showed it to my mom due to my happiness, but she stole
it, then mentioned to my dad about going out to buy new clothing.

Mhmms.. My mom used to do that to me, she'd put the money into a bank account, until I turned 13... I was like "NO, IT'S MY MONEY.."...

Now I just get wonderful gifts & keep my money.

She told me that she'll give what i deserve.
Over the past 14 years i 've collected 20 dollars i could use myself and that 20 i attained 3 weeks ago
If i dont give i will never see another day

^This.

I feel your pain X_X. My parents took the $1,200 my grandma gave me, and my dad took my $50 from Chanukah, AND my mom took my $10 X_X.

My parents use to do this too :S But apparently acctually they just put it into some bank account I didn;t know about and I got it back
Crazy asian parents :S

Don't give it to her. Tell her it's rightfully yours and that you can be responsible for your own money.
