Your dad takes money away from you? WTF?

Yeah, every time I would get payed by a friend of his for some easy work, he'd take that money from me. He owes me about $1400

Edit: I've never really had the opportunity to spend my money on things as he's taken it, so he has no way to say "You'd waste it all" or some shit like that.

I wonder where u are from cuz my dad used to do the exact same thing until I turned 18

Well, this thread went from happy birthday to a deep discussion about your Dad/family xD

I certainly hope he doesn't plan to do that in future now you're 18, as I get the feeling he'd be crossing some serious legal boundaries. I am a little shocked he owe's you $1400 and can't even give you the laptop.

It's not that he can't give it to me, it's that he won't. I tried for 2 hours to get him to just give it to me, he ended up handing it to me, but was like, so if you really want this laptop, I can also print you out a sheet of paper to go along with it as well (meaning, a paper that has bills on it).

Edit: Let me clarify the money thing, he has my cash in his room, he just won't actually let me have it in my room. He says I'm not responsible enough. I've never had the chance to spend money on anything to prove responsibility......
