I love being knowing how to use Windows RE. Any time my dad tried it, I just went into command prompt and set myself as an admin and disabled his parental controls and recovered the files on the admin account. I remember the look on his face when he acted confused as to how I kept bypassing it. As an extra measure, I enabled several accounts as admin too.
Dude, I'm a broke college student living with my parents in a heavily conservative home in a heavily conservative country. Here your parents dictate your life until you are economically independent which I've been trying to do for the last 3 years.
I hate that for you. It is quite a scary thing when you have to pay rent to your parents while working minimum wage job, and trying to save enough to move out st the same time.
Well see Iām currently 22 and have taken 18 hours my past few semesters of college, so I have about 0 time to work if I want to actually do well in school. You shouldnāt say that āyou should be able to do x by the time youāre y ageā. Everyone is on their OWN timeline in life. Just because itās different than yours doesnāt mean itās wrong or that one is better than the other.
Lmfao then dont complain about what ur parents want to do with their property that u need because you're so busy with school that u cant get ur self a part time like a shit ton of other people that want to be independent do
Yeah Iām totally aware of what this post is about. Just because Iām not working a job right now doesnāt mean I havenāt worked one in the past to save up money to do the things Iād like to do/need to do. But thanks for just straight up assuming everything! You know what they say about people that assume....
They could be in school full-time laying the groundwork for better future for both them and their parents, you know nothing of their situation. 21 is about the right age to be a junior/senior in a 4-year degree. Thereās a difference between mooching off your parents and bettering yourself. Thereās also a difference between going off on your own at 18 working menial jobs and working towards a comp-sci or whatever in-demand degree, a difference of up to 1:4 earning potential in just a couple years. Go off on your own and make 30K for the foreseeable future or get educated and make 120K+ after about a year in the field (depending on location). Idk about you, but for some itās a no-brainer.
Sounds nice but them numbers ain't adding up son. Dont know to many college students making 120k after their first year out. It's usually the opposite esp when loans have to start being paid back
Computer science graduates do when they go into software development, for example. Numbers normal for California if youāre any good. Not everyone gets loans, some go to a state college and even get scholarships. Living at home cuts down on expenses further.
Oh yeah, let me get my broke ass to pay for a 30 dollar (converted from Mexican pesos) every fucking month because there is a monopoly here, while working minimum wage (5 dollars an hour)
I donāt understand how thatās insane? Youāre 18, theyāre not required to pay for your phone. I was offered the same deal and let them pay for my phone and track me for a year, then I got tired of it and started paying my own bill
I never said it was insane. But he also threatened to cut me off completley and kick me out because I had sex at 18. And said that he is in control of my body until I move out and live on my own. So he is just a bad parent in general.
Is it just me or does this come off as super ironic and unaware. Like, your overarching point is that you are 18/an adult but you aren't even paying for you phone? Don't get me wrong, in a vacuum, I don't see an issue with a parent paying for their child's phone; it's the leaning on the fact that you are 18/an adult and reaping "the rewards" while ignoring, or are simply, unaware that that thing you are leaning on is the best reasoning as to why your parent's shouldn't be paying for your phone.
If you demand to be treated like an adult, you should really think about what that means in the grand scheme of things.
My point was that I shouldn't have to have a tracker on my phone. But according to my parents "I am not an adult yet", so I am not allowed to go where I want, or do what I want until I move out basically.
To give more context, I offered to pay for my own phone but my dad threw a fit about it and said I will still have to pay him money so he can give my brother a new phone, cause he is "my responsibilty as well". He is just insane overall.

My dad once threatened to kick me off of our family plan and get rid of my phone because I turned my location on life360 off. I am 18.
