    You can pay the bills. I did it and other people can, too...you can also improve your skillset so you're not working minimum wage forever, instead of sitting on one's ass living off of their parents.

    It's cottage cheese...based on our knowledge of events the bolded can equally apply to the OP. Why are you defending this kid? For all you know the OP can be a major pain in the ass and eats his father's food all of the fucking time, or is a slob or is basically disrespectful in numerous ways. You really have no idea.

    may i ask where you live? because trying to live on your own in california with only a near minimum wage job is like pulling teeth most days.

    I'm not talking about the OPs dilemma I already stated if he never asks permission to eat their food then he has no grounds to complain even if its fed to the dogs. If however, he does ask permission every time and the father took it without asking then yes its dickish. Nothing to get all up in arms for but its an annoyance.

    No, I'm talking about the principle of raising children and setting whatever weird rules you want and expecting them to follow them because "I pay the bills". Yeah no shit, you need a place to live also and you have a legal obligation to provide for them regardless if they break your asinine rules.

    Well, we already know that he's disrespectful in numerous ways.

    Have half of you (not Celista) ever heard the saying "it takes a village to raise a child"?

    The village is society and it's contributing fucking up kids like this one (op) because they feel some fucked up sense of entitlement. I'm not saying that this man did a flawless job raising his kid, just that society is starting to program kids in this particular way.

I'm sure to anyone without kids and below the age of 25, I'll be labeled a horrible monster and border line child abuser. But I grew up in a strong disciplined home and I believe discipline is a key ingredient to a successful life

    I of course, wouldn't agree with your extreme example. But if such an event happened, I'm almost positive the parent would have more details about why such an event happened that might make it seem a lot less dickish.
    I'm above the age of 30, and while I wouldn't go as far as call you a child abuser, you're a real dick if you take anything away from your kids without a good reason. I'll grant you the right to take drugs and weapons away from them, and anything that is illegal. I'll grant you the right to take anything away from your kids that could potentially harm themselves or others. I'll grant you the right to take things away from your kids as punishment, so they'll do their homework, chores whatever. But if you go as far as take something away from your kids to use it for your own purposes, doesn't even have to go as far as selling something your kids own so you can buy drugs. Even going as far as taking the PS4 or the PC away from your kids just so you can play with it, you're not only a dick, you're a bad parent. You're acting selfishly without any concern for your kids. A father is supposed to protect his family and make them happy, not bully them and treat them like he owns them. If my parents mistreated me in any way and justified it by saying "our house, our rules", I would take that as a good reason to get into my own house as soon as possible, and never show up at their house ever again. Or maybe wait til they're old and they need your help, and then put them in a home and watch them rot.

    Most places in CA with a high cost of living have like $13/hr fast food jobs. It's not like you're making $6/hr. You also have the option of moving to a lower cost of living area.

    You're encouraging the kid to start using the system to apply muscle against his father?

    Enjoy the foster home kid!

    i live in a small town, most fast food(and the other jobs in that same class of work) only still pay the $10 wage. My friend currently gets somewhere around $12.50 an hour and works fulltime and he still has trouble keeping up with the bills. Myself and another friend help out with the bills on occasion just so he won't have to move back in with his parents. I would really like to move this magical world you live in where having a lower paying job would allow me to viably sustain myself without my moms help, because i hate feeling like a leech(I am currently looking to get a better job, so yes, I am trying to improve my own situation).

    I'm not encouraging anything. I'm also not talking about OP anymore. You would know that if you actually comprehended my post. Paying bills does not give you free reign to be a dick. I'm talking about the principle of the thing.

    How do you know what smegma off a bulls cock looks like? Get yourself some better hobbies.

    I would say its really not a big deal at all... Dogs are a part of the family. Hell, I feed my dog better dog food than I feed myself with human food.

    Because I lived in that magical world where I went to school full time while also working 30+ hours a week.

    And what child has EVER thought it was a good reason? My oldest son went through his rebellious stage and everything was bullshit and COMPLETELY UNFAIR! Technically it was his mother that started confiscating his MP3 player when he got particuarly mouthy with her. So he got one of his friends MP3 players and thought that meant he could just do whatever. He would also get up at 2-3am so he could watch porn and it was completely unfair when I decided to remove the PC from his bedroom.

    It's really easy to just assume the dad is a total dick, based on half the story. It is easy to just assume parents are being power hunger jerks for no reason at all. I'm sure it happens, but I don't believe it's common at all. I do believe has the parent\head of the house hold, it important to have rules and it's important to establish who gets the final say, because that's the real world. If someone wants to raise their child has "equals" in the house, go right ahead. I'm not convinced that is what is best for them in the long run.

    Feeding your groceries to your dog sounds to me like he's trying to make a point. Fortunately for me, if my father ever had a problem with my behaviour he'd look me straight in the eye and talk to me about it.

    My dad was a bit of a dick. But I understood it was also my parents house. I understood I had a roof and food there. So around the age of 16 I got a job, worked hard while going to school and moved the hell out at 18. That way I could live under rules I deemed acceptable. I sure as fuck don't talk with my dad anymore but it's a path I'm still very happy with. I'll never understand why kids get so rebellious, unless of course there is physical abuse involved.
    Just keep doing your thing man and move on.
