I'm not wrong am I

[Ds16dv]

Ds wants to go to fright night thorpe park. Its 63.00 a ticket. But ds is expecting me to pay for his friends as well . Because his friends mum won't/can't pay. actually I know I'm not wrong. But its ds attitude that's making me think am I a bitch. He keeps going on and on about how he told ne the prices etc . He didn't but he won't stop

Please dont make comments about him getting a job its not helpful in my situation. Actually you can make them comments as I cant stop you.

Ds is upset though and I do feel bad .

How old is he? It’s odd he’s expecting you to pay.
Maybe tell him “the budget is £x and that is your Christmas gift, do you want to spend it on your friends or keep it and have Christmas gifts?”

How old is? It’s very strange he’d even ask unless you’re minted and usually pay for stuff like this for other people.

I agree you could offer it as his Christmas gift.

Hes 16. I pay for small things like take aways and he eats here. When he's here etc. He came ti the beach with us the other day. But i can't be paying 63.00 for him

I can't do it as part Xmas gift. I can't do that

Just say firmly that 63 quid is a lot of money. You don’t have it spare. And you don’t want to hear another word.

It is time he got a job though Op, to start understanding the value of money.

Just realised who you are. Don’t feel bad and don’t discuss it with him again. You’re not paying for his friend and I hope things don’t escalate. You can’t be bullied into it.

Hes sitting there like a face of thunder. I'm not reacting at all . He's on his phone.

Is this the son who attacks you?

All these little things are just noise. There's a bigger picture

Why did he expect you to pay for his friend? That’s really odd.

With that attitude does he deserve you to pay for him?

Yes . But he's got better. Still lots of work to do. But it has got better . It's just saying no to something that's going to really upset him is a bit unsettling and hiw he was sitting g there I was waiting for an explosion. He's gone to his room now. Although it shot me up a bit nothing had happened so maybe it's OK and if it is that's a step in the right direction

Won't be worried that he's having a sulk. You cant afford it that's it. End of. Where does he think you're going to pull the money out of? Your arse?
If his friend wants to go somewhere, his parents pay. Not you.
And I think the way he's reacting to you saying no, I wouldn't even be trying to find the money. He's acting spoiled

He wants you to pay for his friend but his friend’s parent’s won’t pay for his friend leave alone him?
obviously unreasonable but when my boys were younger I may have just paid for the other child.
