How would you react if your friends daughter spoke to you like this?

[Beetroot]

They have come for Sunday lunch which we are cooking and we cook alot for them

We like doing this. It is not a problem at all.

I ask 14 year old to pop to shop for me to get some frozen peas as I have run out

She looks at me and groans
she then says -' only if your buy me a magazine'

I look at her and say 'I will buy you a magazine or I will feed you' and smile

Her mum gets cash out and gives her money to pay for peas and magazine

ds who is 14 was shocked!

[GooseyLoosey]

If your ds was out running an errand already then not on at all and if I was her mother she most certainly would not have got her magazine!

[FYIAD]

no they wouldnt say it to mate

they would look at me and I would look stern and they would go

[BetteNoire]

Typical, cheeky,'the world owes me a living' teenager response.
But I would have expected her parent to pick her up on it, and ask her to apologise.
And she wouldn't have got any magazine if she were my DD.

[Buda]

I can't imagine feeling that familiar that I would have spoken to an adult like that at that age. I think it was a bit rude.

[Pimmpom]

More surprised at you mate's response. Nothing surprises me with teenagers

[CrushWithEyeliner]

She sounds overly confident and very Rude - and has probably been brought up with bribes. This proves why bribes are a shit way to bargain with your child. For her to say it to anyone other than family is cheeky, can't believe the mum didn't have words.

My reaction would have been the same as WWWs. Shocked as in a 'you must be having a joke' sort of way.

I am shocked that she expects a magazine for going on a short errand. And even more shocked that her mother gave her the cash without batting an eyelid!

[MrsSnape]

Its a normal thing to say to your parents I think, but not someone elses! I wouldn't have dared and I was a 'nightmare teen'!

[DarthVader]

One thing to say this at home and another thing to say it to you.

I think she needs to know that this is the case or you will be doing her no favours. You could tell her yourself if you have a close relationship or ask her mum to talk with her about it.

[lljkk]

I wouldn't have been shocked, afraid my 8yo DS tries on lines like this, too! I'd think -- "Fat chance, hun" the instant she said it.

Coz ds doesn't get a magazine or whatever other reward he's angling for (ever, unless he is asking if he could spend his own money which is different). He's just trying it on.

If the other mum coughed up the zine money, I wouldnt judge.

But if my ds said it to another parent I'd be quite cross & embarassed. Dont know if I cough up or not. I hope not.
