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

Nothing in this thread even slightly suggests Amy doesn't have respect for her parents.

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.

But like I said in an earlier post, something that has conveniently been ignored because when I post, people nitpick. Once you start paying towards it, talk to your mum and tell her you're not comfortable paying for it, if the neighbours are leeching off of it. At the minute you don't have a say because, well, you don't contribute towards it. |

And I have very little doubt most people would be frustrated being expected to pay for something that people outside of the family are getting access to for free. It really doesn't sound that unreasonable. People need to stop acting like she's not contributing or pulling her weight whatsoever when she indeed is, and from the sounds of it a lot more than plenty of others her age might be. |

Not really because your advice become pretty irrelevant when you started calling me a brat and a leech.
The only clocking I see is Lostie towards you tbh

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. |

And you wonder why your "advice" seems more like an opportunity for more digs than anything else?

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.

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. |

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.

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.

But at the minute her mother can give the internet to whoever she wants she pays for it. Like I said on the first page, if she spoke to her mother about the arrangement it can be resolved.

But I still don't see how you can (or what gives you the right to) say she is leeching off of her mum or disprepecting her, when she clearly isn't.

We obviously have different views and values. I actually paid £60 a week when I first started working at 16 which mum then took down to £50 a week because I was giving her more money than she needed. |
