ok i gotta ask...

[slipknotpsycho]

just tell me what you think you'd do.... think of yourself as either my mom (who this is really about) or a really good friend (same equivelant more or less)

first i did spend alot of my settlement on a car... we've done very responsibile things with the money, but of course we 'wasted' some on random BS....

anyways, it came about how much i payed for my dog (600) and she started freaking out on me.... for literally 30 minutes she was bitching at me about how i spent my money... i was actually getting to a point to where iw as about to tell her to stfu.... (trust me, i'm not gonna go into details but she has no room to talk about 'wasting money')

anyways... what would you have done if your son or best friend told you he spent 600 dollars on a dog (keeping in mind he'd just gotten over 6k, and spent alot of it 'responsibiliy') would you have freaked out for half an hour... would have said i could of spent it on better things and left it alone, or would you have not said anything or not even cared?

i actualy do want honest answers tho... don't 'spare' the honesty cuz you may think we're cool or w/e <.< that won't be affected... i just want to know if my mom over reacted or not (she actualy hit my wife so my wife would hit me....)

i wouldnt say anything. its not my money. so it isnt my decision. - thats coming from if i was your mom

exactly

I don't know what's the nature of your settlement and I don't know how old you are, but how you choose to spend money is between your wife and yourself.

[slipknotpsycho]

i'm 22, the settlement was psychological damage the lawyers got from my wife getting hit by a car (she got money too btw o.0 which was totally unexpected)

i'm just curious, cuz i'm not exagerating.... the only thing otu of my mom's mouth was 'i was so proud yal spent yals money in a respnosible manner and got a car... but <myname> a 600 FUCKING DOLLAR DOG?! I FEEL LIKE SLAPPING THE SHIT OUT OF YOU....' 3 seconds go by... '600 DOLLARS FOR A DOG?!'...

i'm sure you can fill in the rest of the half hour as it just went like that...

personally, i think it's a waste to spend that much on a dog, unless it was to save a dog from being put to sleep or something like that, but hey, if you've got the money for that kindof stuff, go for it

[delusionsofNORMALity]

can you really afford the sort of luxury that will keep on costing you for years to come. though i know little of your financial situation, i would question the necessity of spending a tenth of your windfall on a dog when there are so many pups in need of homes at your local pound.

of course, i really have no room to talk. i once spent the same amount on a snake and lost my job a few months later.

[Juggalo k00kie]

damn.. you get a shitload of replies.. real quicklike

[slipknotpsycho]

i spent that much cuz i couldn't find a dog anywhere that fit my needs/wants except at the pet store where they're all registered, which of course upped the price greatly....

dellusion we're certainly not so broke we can't afford to raise him... i haven't put us in any jeapordy.... and if any dog was to eat us outta home it certainly won't be him.. he's only a chiuahuah.... his food expenses are going to be about as cheap as any breed of dog out there...

btw i have no problem adopting dogs from the pound, my last dog that i loved more than anything came from there.... he was a chow/doberman mix... but i wanted a puppy, and i HAD to get something really small... we don't have a fenced yard so it had to live in the house, mostly my room... my options were tight...

Yup, sounds like my mom. She obviously wanted you to be her lap dog and is upset you have a mind of your own.

[slipknotpsycho]

lol funny you should say that... i go over there and take my son now that we have a car... and she basicly begs and grovels for me and my wife to stay the night there... and then when we say no...starts playing the pity game with her 3 year old son!

"tell them they're mean!" "tell them they don't love us!" etc etc... this carries on for 10 minutes...
