Old fashioned

[chimmychunger]

why are my parents so old fashioned. Ok so today i asked my mum weather we could get netflix she said no. I asked why she said she would rather have foxtel. She said she wanted scedualed programs and for it to record when she forgets. but i said that with netflix you can get it when u want it dosent matter if you forget it, it will be their. I also said 10 aud per month compared to 80 aud. She just plain blank refuesed. so i can not get it untill i get enoigh income to pay 10 bucks a month (so march, april 2014) Is this normal for a 46 year old. thanks.

I don't think she is old fashioned, just well.. stubborn maybe? You just gotta keep trying and keep making those good arguments.

Sometimes, sometimes it is normal for a parent to say no because they are exhausted, tired of stressing about money and don't have the energy to think about new things, so after the first attempt at stopping you from talking about it fails (in this case foxtel) they just give up and say no.

 

Of course I have no idea about your particular situation but that's how I respond to my kids when I don't want to think about it.

how much allowance do you get, don't think you can complain about not having enough for ten dollars a month if you have enough money to buy those parts

It's her money and if you wants to (seems that way) waste it then I'd let her, why don't you get netflicks? I'm sure you could find $10 per month for it even if it means doing odd jobs for your parents, friends or/and neighbours.
