I don't think anyone moreso me, have implied you do that. I was merely correcting your assumption that I was still at school at 16.

Also as Cal says, I wouldn't come online and let a bunch of strangers talk crap about my parents. Its so disrespectful

Amy can you try explaining to your mum that she should change the Internet password to stop your neighbour using it ASAP it's a terrible idea to allow that and the security risks are off putting enough before even thinking about what they will view online/download.

As for the money thing I think with you still being in college, only working part time hours and your mum still receiving ctc for you then asking you to pay out more is a bit too much, maybe you could talk to her more about it and see how it goes.

I will speak to her about it, I honestly don't mind paying more it's what she's asking me to pay for that's bothering me

But thank you for the thoughtful reply Josy I'll 100% talk to her about it

Not really sagging her off but not shocked at the usual people reaching

might be a bit personal,

but does your father pay maintanance for you to your mother?

He used to pay but apparently he stopped a while ago, probably when he moved abroad.

ah ok, I think my dads in like some contract agreement so he has to pay for my brother and I up until we're 18 or like got a full time job.

[Amy Jade]

I'm just putting it out there that I have a LOT of respect for my Mum, just because I am frustrated over something doesn't mean I am 'slagging' her off.

She was a single mum for years until she met my step dad and I pretty much grew up knowing what struggling really is when we lived in a council house and relied on my Nan and Grandad to let us sleep there on weekends because she couldn't afford to keep the heating on - I have a LOT of respect for her and she's one of the strongest people I know just because I question her reasoning on one subject doesn't mean I have no respect for her so people really shouldn't jump to conclusions from one topic.

Which advice? telling me to shut up or calling me a leech?

My advice is no different to Josy's though.

And you do sound like a brat and you have been leeching off your mum since you were born. Every child does. No lies spotted.

Still advice all the same though. Just because you don't like the way I presented it, doesn't make it any less.

No need for me to reply really - and Glenn you say the forums really awful at the moment and dead, have you ever thought why that might be at all? people are SO judgemental on here and desperate to argue or have one up on other members it can become unpleasant to post here when you make a post and have to be called names and judged so harshly.

Its called reality. Welcome to real world, where adults have to pay for things.

She is 17 and at college. Give her a break. You'd think she was 30 and still living at home sponging off of her mum the way you carry on.

Pay for things that they use and not some stranger next door.

[erinp5]

Well you could always move out....good luck getting everything you have at the moment for 50 quid a month.

[Samuel.]

I'd have been mad about this at 17. I think you're doing well with paying some rent, doing part time work and college at that age, that's more than your average teen for sure, so the situation does sound harsh. Obviously your mum can do what she likes, but that doesn't make it fair.

I wish I could give you advice but your mum holds all the power in this scenario and I don't know how easy it is to change her mind. Giving a neighbour your wifi sounds like a ridiculously stupid thing to do though, both for security risks and potential over-usage.

[Glenn.]

She may as well be. Its only internet.

Well her issue is not paying for the internet, her issue is paying for the internet while the neighbour (in a different house) can use it for free. If I was going to pay towards it I would want to know that they would not be using it.
