why are some people saying that the op should be giving his father money because he had to do that for 18 years of her life its not like she was able to fend for himself for that time was it. At the very least he could start making some money at 13 but thats just pocket money. He is helping his dad because he wants to. What right does his dad have to tell him how to spend his money when not only did he earn that money but he is also helping his dad out. If the OP is still at home that makes very little difference because he is still paying for the majority house and the bills if not all of it, as long as all that is paid up who cares what he is doing with his money.

If your dad is wasting your money on beer, stop helping him out and leave.

dude that sucks! I feel for you, in this economy jobs are being lost left and right!

haha "...and his beer."

If he thinks you spend too much money you can tell him he's right and not give him any more.

I echo what everyone has said: don't give him money for at least one month. He'll be back and he'll have to grovel because he doesn't have anywhere else to get it from.

That's usually what worthless alcoholics do when they feel worthless.

Time to cut dad off and if he gets upset tell him you don't want to spend too much money. in the meantime, save up to get your own place

O my God that just sucks! Go talk to your dad untill you two made things clear. If you won't talk to him, then talk to me.
