so I recently got a part time job at a little shop owned by my dad, I am 17, I got a job because I sometimes want to buy clothes, makeup and stuff like that since I’m at that age where I wanna look my best
Before my job I would ask my mom or my dad or my stepdad for money so I could buy things I always felt bad because it’s their money and I knew we weren’t in the best place to spend things on that kind of stuff, now that I work I can buy my own things with MY own money and not feel bad.
Anyways I’ve made near 300 dollars now and I’m very proud and I’m gonna save up. A few days ago my step dad found out how much money I earned and he’s a very joking around person so he said “are you going to share with us?” To which I said no.
Now a few hours ago I came downstairs and my step dad had told me that my response to his joke caught him off guard because her expected me to say yes.
I was confused so I told him that I was really just only wanting to use the money on myself so I won’t feel bad for buying things he then called me selfish because I wouldn’t like to share at least 20/30 dollars with my mom and I was confused because why would she need that from me?
I said I would give her a minimum of 5 dollars because I never expected to have to share with my mom. He said that we work as a team in the house and that he would like it if I shared it.
He went on a rant about how they work so hard and on top of that they had to pick me up from work (he sounded like I was the reason for all their problems which made me upset) We honestly are not poor we live in a nice house have 3 pets and we haven’t struggled with money for a while.
He seemed disappointed I wouldn’t want to share money (I honestly thought he was gonna cry at one point) so I felt bad for saying I didn’t wanna share money so am I wrong?
