Ugh.
I just feel so pissed and frustrated.
My Dad and my sis always view me as the runt because Im in my studies and can't get a job for that reason, my sister talks down to me alot and always makes stupid remarks like "oh did you get dad a present because you never get him anything" even though she knows full well Im flat broke most of the time.
I hate taking money off my dad as well, I mean Im almost 20 and should really find a way to find a job. Im just sick of being viewed as the freeloader and start doing things myself.
what can I do to get a bit of respect?

Two fingers to your sister are what's needed here.
EDIT: Not in a sexual way obviously, unless you're from Cornwall in which case that sort of business will be second nature anyway. Ho ho.
:yes:
Just ignore it mate.
As for your sister, just explain to her that you are broke etc and when she starts acting stupid either ignore it or make some stupid throw away comment.
20 notes a week? Fuck me, back in the day I used to get 2 pound a week and be bloody thankful for it. /hovis music
But no, if they're offering you that then I'd bit their bloody hand off. Can hardly call you a sponger for that.
If its happily being offered then no its not.
I just don't like taking money for nothing, I applied for the EMA but they said I was 2 months too old. At least that way I can earn money for studying.
I just FEEL like im sponging, I do do things around the house like tidy my room, the washing up, helping with the laundry but I don't feel thats enough.
I've felt like that when I lived at home. Parents always nag to try and make you do a bit more, mine always did. So long as you're doing your bit then you shouldn't worry too much.
:yes: I second that.
My sis borrows loads from my dad and she always says "he always gets it back". She borrowed £500 and I put the suggestion forward that she tries and lives out of her own pocket instead of doing that AND borrowing money off my dad. She was pissed at me for a week and told all her friends what A cunt I am.
Anyway im gonna stop moaning about my sister now.
thanks pill'ed, Marie and Bri, really needed this vent.
Its not nice but it has to be done sometimes. Once you can afford to pay something into the house etc then offer to do it.
My parents never lend me or my brother money. We both have jobs and have to live off our salaries. You made a fair point about her though, being called a cunt for doing it is harsh.
:yes: totally agree with that. but unfortunately thats not always the case.
£20/wk - if you thought it was a lot, you could always take less.
