My parents had staunch beliefs and nobody could convince them otherwise. They had the unflinching knack of bringing people round to their parenting style, unorthodox as it may have been.
They made it clear that as soon as I turned sixteen, I would be expected to pay THEM in the form of Digs'. But because by some turn of events I became good at my sport they sort of put things on hold and backed down . But I still just felt like an inconvenience to them. Like I had overstayed my welcome.
