How do I deal with careless parents?...?
Things are getting ridiculous in this household. I am a 16 year old teen (17 in about 3 months) but pretty much my parents are on the brink of not even caring anymore. I don't do drugs, I don't drink, I do well in school, I participate in sports, I do everything in a positive way, I get social freedom to leave the house... everything seems perfect however there's one major issue. The lack of parenting. There are days where I would be dropped off to school and I would ask my dad for lunch money and he would literally say "I don't care, I don't have any money, ask your friends." There would be days where there is nothing in the pantry and fridge yet my dad says "There's plenty to eat here." And because of this, all the money which my mom and dad demand me to save from my job is spent because I'm constantly forced to spend my money on food, drivers ed, all of that. Where does it all end? My father believes his job is accomplished, when we get in discussions he always says "I fed you for ten years"... but whenever I say back to him "The first ten years of my life shouldn't be when you stop feeding me" he just laughs at me and simply says "Oh really?" The situation is ever worsening because I've now spent about 40 in a week on food and other random fees that come up for drivers ed stuff which my parents should be responsible for. On top of that, whenever I try to explain my grievances in a calm, conductive manner, my father just cuts into my speaking shouting "I don't care", my mom could easily help out however she would rather not antagonize the situation. What am I to do about parents who just don't give a care about me anymore, parents who have hidden from their responsibilities to raise me as a child. After all, it wasn't my decision to be brought into this planet, it was theirs and they should hold responsibility for their product.
