(mother) "Aww man I don't have enough. Sweetie, can i borrow $10 from you please?"
(daughter) "What do you mean you don't have enough mom? C'mon you work everyday!"
(mother) "Young lady don't you talk to me that way!"
(daughter) "Too bad, I'm not giving you my money, it's mine!"
(mother) "Ok then I guess you will just do without dinner tonight, too bad."
(daughter) "Oh my God fine, here!"
This was a conversation that I unfortunately had to encounter while in the line at the Sobey's grocery store. I couldn't believe that this teenager who didn't look any older than 16, would say such mean things to her own mother. I mean yes there are most teenagers who get into arguments with their parents but to me this is the worst thing you can tell your mother. You should have more respect for your parents than any other person in your life, especially your mother. All this mother asked for from her daughter was $10 which is not even a sum that comes close to the amount of money that she put into raising her child. The thing about was that the groceries on the belt that the mother was purchasing were all the items that she would need to make her daughter's dinner. I can't believe this young girl had the audacity and courage to tell her mother "too bad, I'm not giving you my money, it's mine".
I really thought the mother handled the situation effectively. She told her daughter, "Ok then I guess you will just do without dinner tonight, too bad". She fed her daughter the exact same words she had given her. The daughter immediately probably pictured herself lying on her bed, starving. The sad thing that this conversation sort of revealed was that the daughter was using her mother to just cook her dinner. Another thing about this conversation was the fact this this rude girl was speaking so loudly that even i couldn't stop but overhear. I'm sure others who were standing in the line as well as the cashier, heard how rude this girl was towards her mother. I bet this girl would never talk to her friends that way because she just wants to 'fit in', which apparently in today's society is more important than treating your mother with love and respect. If this was my daughter talking to me, just as she embarrassed me in front of other people, i would also stand right there and embarrass her the same way by putting her in her place. Apart from manners, this girl needs to learn how to speak to her mother. I wonder how this girl would take it if her mother said to her,"oh my god, I'm not spending money on you go out and work to support me".

That brat needs to do without dinner anyway for her insolence, and lack of appreciation.
By the way, it might be a good idea to change the name of your blog. You can do that in basic settings.
