Magig Cards Taken

[Pakamper]

Do you guys think my parrents have the right to take all of my magic cards away, (THAT I PAID FOR) just because i just now refused to keep doing work arround the house because of a points system that is baised on chores and if i do chores i get points. Just to give you an idea on what it is; i cant to anything that involves electricity or anything that could be considered fun. 1hr of elecrtonics is 30 pts. 30pts= 6 hard chores. So progressivly they have taken away stuff that i wasent using. I guess what im really asking is if its legal for them to take away my mtg cards that i paid for. Im 16 and yes, i know their just trying to teach me responsibility and such but ive got a job, school, and finals and if that doesnt teach me something than what does? Thanks guys!

Tough break man. But they are your parents so respect them.
(then sneak the cards back)

I think they have every right simply cause their your parents but that's just my opinion. However, that chore system is dumb and needs to be much more laxed...I'm 18 and I still listen to almost every word my parents say but they don't have some crazy system like that for me...like it should be as long as there are no chores (and chores should be split up kids doing more than parents) you can enjoy however you want. But again that's just my opinion haha

Yes. They have the right. As a parent, but still young, I know how hard it seems, but it's completely understandable on your parents side. It's their house. You have to follow their rules.

Help your parents out as much as you can! Maybe when you're older they will be a lot easier on you. I promise it'll get better. Just treat them with the utmost respect!

There are many things that you can learn from the Bible even if you aren't a Christian...and one of those things is to "honor your father and mother". 

Without them you wouldn't exist. They house you, feed you, and clothe you. I am 18. Just out of high school and feeling pretty "adult" and "like a boss". Do I still do chores for my parents? You bet your Magic cards I do!

No matter how old you are and no matter how "biased" their chore system is, you do their work as long as you live in their house! Respect them and trust me you will get your cards back.

I had a similar issue. The best thing to do is just wait it out. Eventually they'll give up with that idea and move on.

(however, my parents just took away the bulk of my cards. The decks I hid before they took the others shh..)

I don't want to get on a religious argument. But respect is earned not given. But it depended on what he considers hard chores, but six chores to half an hour is a bit extreme IMO.

Lmao. They're your parents. It's given regardless. They raised you from nothing. Without them, you would be nothing. Therefor your point is invalid.

Dude it's just chores. Suck it up. How are you going to act when you have a real job? Lmao.

Have you seen some of these parents?  I respect mine they were there for me. Not every child can say that. Just because they had unprotected intercourse, and had a child doesn't make some one a good parent.

Im pretty sure that's not the point here. So please, if you're going to debate with me, stay on topic.

Dude...it has nothing to do with religion. As you might have read I said it applies to you even if you are not a Christian. I never use religion as an argument because it isn't a common ground for everyone.

That said, I agree with Kuberr: they don't need to earn anything from you.

I think the only one who needs to earn something is you. You need to earn everything they give you free of charge. Least you can do is a few chores...come on man, get with it. Don't be hard to deal with...just do your chores.

I made my point, about respect being earned not given. It was missed. I'm not feeding the flames anymore.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry for your parents as well.

As a parent, if my son said that to me. After shelling 30k$ average to raise him, along with all the knowledge I know to keep him safe and make good decisions. I would be super pissed.

You sound ungrateful.

Easy guys. This is a touchy subject. Let's try to not flare up into aggression. Thanks 
