StarPuppy, please don't take it too personally.
As a parent myself, I must say sometimes even parents make mistakes. Sometimes we say things which we didn't mean to hurt. Sometimes we don't know how to handle, we end up doing stuff that hurt. At the end of the day, you know it was meant well but perhaps the approach not so appropriate. As long as you believe that you dad meant well, I think you can swallow this better.
Understand us. It is not easy either. Just have to learn each day to live harmoniously among ourselves. Everyday is a learning experience. Particularly if it is a new experience/matter/issue, sometimes we may not know how to handle. We all have to work at it.
Take care and cheer up.

Sometimes I have a bad day and then just flare up but later apologize lor. Maybe "that day" was a bad day for him? Maybe he regretted kicking up a fuss too eh. Can you explain to him nicely that "dad, you know I'm careful with my spending. I don't ask for a lot but this is something that I really like or need. Please understand and trust my spending."
Anyways, I trust you will get over this incident. Family ties are so precious. Talk it out and get it over. Good luck.
Again, take care nonetheless. And cheer up. -

Hi Pup,
First of all, a big hug to you. I've gone through this before, & at the time, I'd thought that my parents were contradicting themselves. But after I'd come out to work, I realised how difficult it is to earn money. You're milked to the fullest for every cent the company pays you, more often than Not.
So parents wish to instill in you what they've learnt. To them, $180/- is too big a sum to splurge on computer games, when later in life, you probably will get sick of your PS2 set. They're also worried that you may splurge in future on unnecessary things instead of stuff you really need, or saving for a rainy day.
Even up till now, after earning my own money, my parents still nag at me about buying jewellery (according to them, I should save up to buy a pair of 2ct total solitaire earrings instead of buying tiny little things that people can't even see). To appease them, & now that I understand why they nag at me like this, I've stopped buying that many, that often.
When you come out to work for real, & you can't rely on your parents anymore financially, you'll understand why your dad is so upset now. Learn to look beyond the scolding, & the good intentions underneath. And when your dad has cooled down, tell him that in future, you'll discuss these expenses with him before going ahead without approval, but he has to listen to what you have to say.

My parents now shut up because they know that it's hard on me to go work instead of continuing for a degree and I'm entitled to my PS2 and my PCs.

AH puppy...
Mayb you dun understand their point of view..for grownups' world $180 is actually not alot.. u can only use it to pay d utility bills for 1 mth, or 2 trips to NTUC for about 1 week's groceries.. or maybe handphone bill for both your parents...But it's the choices they can make.. To spend it on games which they would think is a waste of time. would be 'heartpain' to them.
i used to think this way like you too... till i am working n not staying with them, n you have to pay n buy every single ting you can name it.. from toilet paper to insecticide...
sometimes, i think back n felt that what i had longed for when i was younger was actually unnecessary...n a waste of $. Ur dad mayb feeling the same n do not want u to follow that footstep?
dun worry..generation gap..everyone has it n been thru it..

wah u spend 180 on PS2!
if i have 180, i go buy my books liao -
only 180 and you did not ask him for it. instead you choose to save up. he is upset because you insulted him.

anyway i believe that it is a waste of money buying books, including comics. -
well, adults just think its a waste of money.Originally posted by StarPuppy:i save up and spend the moeny i save...

for me, i think its a waste of money to modify... anyway, wats the modification u made? -
u didn sound like u're joking up there when u said its an insult.Originally posted by dragg:just joking.

its up to individual, some ppl think its a waste of money, some dun.
i believe, if a book's gg to get read a 2nd time or 3rd time, its not a waste to buy it anymore.
my mangas were read at least 30 times when i still had them for that short period of 3 years...
i'd finish one series before gg to the next.... before repeating the cycle again.
and tho i noe the storyline, it still feels as tho i'm reading them for the first time. -
