I agree that working is neither the answer or suitable for all youth and apologise for the OP's thread diverging. My intention was to stress that one's own behaviour begets the manner of treatment received in return. The OP stated their behaviour was questionable. Why would they then have high expectations for superior treatment as a result? The OP seems to think such treatment obligatory. Granted their parent's behaviour is also questionable but my point is that the OP seems to be failing to look within. The bit about the value of money and the expectation Vs earning of it is merely case in point.
