CUT OFF

[beth]

Exactly Beth. My mum worked hard to pay bills and rent but I try my best to give her board out of my JSA becuase I hate knowing she works 40 hours a week to watch me sit around doing nothing. I earn my right to have nice things, i.e i clean up, i sort washing, iron everything, change the bedding twice a month, clean the windows... just stuff that i feel i owe to my mum for giving me a roof over my head. if your parents are paying for you to live and paying for food without asking for anything back off you, you're very lucky.

yeah i do all that stuff too, plus look after my little sister everyday which kinda earns my keep i guess. i tried to give my mom some of my jsa before (i don't live with her but i know she has it hard with bills even after working full time) but she won't take it cause it's mine

yeah, my mum doesn't take alot from me because she knows i need it, for my own bills but i force her to have it because she's going through a divorce atm and i feel so bad and sorry for her. but because i live here too i like knowing my house is clean etc so i always feel good after i proper go for it and clean everyyyyyyyywhere! my mums the same, even though she works mega hours she still struggles, because this house was once paid for by 2 people but he left her.. so it's a huge house and 1 wage doesn't really cover much else after bills and rent, but we get by and we have nice things

My parents haven't and looking at them they want to support me and want me to stay at home so yeah. Doesn't really bother me atm.

we don't get anything else.

Ash, having to buy your own alcohol is not being cut off lol

[Inseriousity.]

I cut myself off. My dad's a self-employedpainter/decorator so the recession hit us hard and it got to the point where the only thing putting food on the table for all of us was EMA (was at college at the time).Times areslightly better now and they don't rely on me for money but as I have a younger brother and sister - one of themstill at school -I know they have to spend more money on them than on me. I'm not really materialistic anyway so as long as I have a bed and food on the table, I'd be alright and anything extra I can, at the moment, buy thatfine myself.

I think this is just the normal thing that happens to overly spoilt children. In the end their parents stop buying one little thing for them and they act like it's the end of the world

Its not just alcohol. We get nothing. We used to get like random money dumped in our accounts, not now. Our needs are paid for, our wants aren't. I am fairing perfectly fine.

I agree with Stephen this time. You're hardly being cut off. The rule of thumb is simple. Dont go overboard and ask for stuff they cannot afford. You have to understand how hard it is to earn money. Live by what you have and don't ask for more.
