I Want To Help, But They Won't Let Me.

By moe_harkless August 18, 2020 11 answers Last updated August 18, 2020

Hello, readers. I am a boy, 15 years old. I will ask you to read everything, I will be very grateful to you. As you can see from the title, this will be the topic. The point is that the apartment needs to be repaired next summer. I tell my parents that I also want to help with money (saving a whole school year instead of spending it on this or that). But they tell me that it is not right and it is not my duty to give money exactly for the apartment, but it is theirs. They tell me what money I get (for school or from grandparents or on holidays, etc.) to spend wisely, but they do not allow me to help, because they say that then my whole life I will have to anyway I cover a lot of expenses for good and bad, so it's better to live my carefree years, because when I grow up, I won't have that opportunity. They tell me that no matter how difficult they are, they would never ask me to save money for such things, as I said, because then I will have to spend my whole life, my parents say. So let me enjoy these years, because then I will look for them and I will regret that instead of like any other child I spend when they give me and have fun, and not think about such problems from now on, because they you have to think about it, not me, my parents say.

Should I be glad they don't let me help them? Should I listen to them and the money they give me not to save them for repairs, etc. I'm just a little confused and I can't express myself correctly and what I want to tell you and ask you as a question ... I would very much like to glad to hear your views on the matter. I hope you understand what I am trying to tell you. they would never want me to save money for such things, as I said, because then I will have to spend my whole life, my parents say. So let me rejoice in these years, because then I will look for them and I will regret that instead of like any child I spend when they give me and have fun, and not think about such problems from now on, because they you have to think about it, not me, my parents say.

   I will tell you 2 things: 1. Do not take on responsibilities that do not belong to you. 2. It is easiest to spend other people's money in cash. If you want to help your parents, why not risk investing a small part in someone else's business or project? Now is the time to learn and mix. Try to increase the money. If you find a way and a niche market - well, you will help them for life. :) Take this as an investment for the future.

   Congratulations that you want to help, you are a good boy and well brought up for congratulations to your parents! Just as good parents do not want you to take on such responsibilities from now on, you are a teenager and they want you to enjoy and experience these years with the extras - going out with friends, money in your pocket for movies, personal needs, maybe a treat for etc. However, you can save as much as possible without depriving yourself and get involved with a lev, just because of the feeling of helping. They will be very happy, not so much because of the money, but because they are proud to have raised such a boy. You can buy some things that you do not need to discuss in advance, for example, if wallpaper will be glued, you take the glue, for example, but NOT wallpaper - they will choose the color and shape. Or get involved with hard work when you can — the best in essence you can do. Congratulations to you, this is to be a full member of the family! But well done to them for what they have created in you :)!

   Your parents are right. I made the mistake of giving large sums of money to my parents - for a new apartment, after which they sank even more. I did them a disservice. At the same time, I could invest them in my apartment. With this "service" they were enslaved, and I lost several years of development. Use your money for books and textbooks, but also for friends, coffee, boyfriends. In other words, do not deprive yourself of experiences.

   It's commendable that you want to help, but it's really none of your business, but there's still a way to know you're helping them. First, you can help them with work if you plan to repair yourself. If a master is coming, you can help with the choice of wallpaper, colors, tiles ... it depends on what kind of repair you will make. Second, if they are going to renovate your room, you can use your money to buy a decoration. And this will again be a kind of repair aid. So there is always a decision both to feel useful and not to spend all your money on something that really is not your concern, but see if you accompany yours when they go to choose tiles for example, they will appreciate it and will be satisfied.

   It is commendable, but it is not very pleasant for the parents not to have breakfast for the child to help them. You imply that they are not very good with money. In fact, since they can afford repairs, they have done their math. If you want, save for something meaningful - for a language course, for a driving course - hey, things like that - which will be much more useful than you paid for.

   You are decent, and so are your parents. They are right - save your money for yourself. You can invest them in your education or for something you need.

   I think that there is something wrong with the upbringing in Bulgaria. All commenters accept the author's thoughts as a good upbringing. However, I, a man who grew up in France, am amazed. You will ask why! Well, because I don't think it's right for a child at all, even if the child is 30 years old, to be burdened with thinking about the responsibilities of the parents in their parents' family - this is not right. This is due to the placement of children as equal family members. Thus, children subconsciously accept the rights and obligations in a family as their own. In Europe, no child would have thought to collect their pockets for possible future repairs next year, "next year" is quite a long period of a child's life, no parent would allow the child to know about plans for such a distant future. ,, yes children In Europe they are good if they see that their parents do not have enough money they would "break" their coffers, but to be burdened to collect all year to achieve the obligations of parents! ?? !? That's why I say there's something wrong. It is wrong for a child not to eat breakfast to help the material well-being of the family, think about what is most valuable in a family - the health of children, their proper growth physically and as individuals, you commenters put more important new tiles in the bathroom, this Is it normal. If you don't eat this child for a year at this age, do you think how his bones and internal organs will grow and how healthy he will be throughout his life, what eating habits he will create because of new tiles and latex !? !? I am shocked by your opinions! but to be burdened to collect all year to achieve the responsibilities of parents! ?? !? That's why I say there's something wrong.

   Friend, to be happy you have to do what will make you very happy. Don't do things you think you are responsible or obligated to do. As soon as you become an adult and start working, God forbid, your wife and children will further understand that your parents were right. In my opinion, don't help with the money, but spend it on friends. Now your time is carefree. You can always help your parents with something else, for example to help with an idea. It's obvious that your parents love you a hell of a lot. Don't be stubborn to them, they think well of you and want you to live your teenage life carefree.

   When allocating the family budget for the month, one item is allocated for pocket money, another item for mandatory daily expenses and whatever is left for other things (repairs, excursions, entertainment, travel, etc.). Everyone in the family is entitled to pocket money. Including the children in the family. This is, so to speak, a fund "And I'm a man." Repairs are made with other money, but not out of pocket. So, repairs are planned only if there is allocated and collected other money for this activity. Not out of pocket. Pockets are a must for everyone and everyone should receive them every day. And who, how he will spend his pockets, is his personal business and no one should interfere with him.
