Today, I got a job. My parents have decided it's now a better idea to take money from my paycheck instead of grounding me. FML

To clear up some questions I wanna start by saying I'm 17 and currently training to be a manager at mcdonalds. I work 40 hours a week and go to high school as a senior. I don't have much time for friends so they figured grounding me wasn't exactly the best punishment. They decided to start charging me for bad grades or not being able to do some chores or simple stuff like that, nothing too major. I thought that it seemed a little unjust for taking my hard worked money from me because of course it only happens to me in my family because I work the most and everyone else has more time for being grounded.

40hrs and school, of course your study time is going to be effected. must suck going to class, then work, and be expected to do chores. only plus side is you will be prepared for life when you get your own place. keep you head up.

welcome to the real world, people get fined. $$$ is the biggest deterrent for most people.

That falls under as "stealing". You can report them to the police and have them arrested. It's actually illegal for them to do.

Well op living under their roof is from the cutesy of their hard earned money so if that is such a prob then op should move out with the hard earned money or pay rent as a tenant w/ a leasing agreement also op didn't say they were stealing it, op apparently has to pay up when getting in trouble, that prob stings more than just grounding so op can just behave and it won't have to be a prob unless the parents r unreasonable with wut things are considered punishable

Then don't do stuff that would get you grounded. It's not hard.

Easy. If he is under 18, It's up to them, might teach him a few things. If he is over 18 it's his money. The. Have no right at all. Rent being entirely different matter. That's not a punishment. That's a part of life.

I'm wondering what the OP did. A lot kids today don't care that they got punished or grounded only that they got caught and feel entitled to whine about it. Your parents are teach hint a lesson that if you do stupid shit you are gonna have to pay for it. You are in their house you gotta follow the rules.

If you **** up to be grounded that's on you. If money will get the point across better that to deserve don't want to lose it don't do what you know is wrong or act up. I do it to my son, he loses his Legos because taking away treats do nothing. The Legos he misses, relishes why and doesn't do what was wrong again. If you can be grounded your under 18 and living with your parents so try respecting them.
