0:00.0 | My parents spend $500 on my Amazon account and then gaslight me into thinking I owe them. |
0:08.0 | So this is an older story, so bear with me. |
0:12.0 | A common thing to happen in my family is my parents demanding me to buy them stuff off Amazon because, well, they're entitled. I have Amazon Prime, so I understand |
0:23.6 | using my account. However, they also make me use my debit card to pay for stuff and eventually do pay me |
0:30.5 | back, usually. Still, it's incredibly annoying. It's never been a huge amount of money, but this time |
0:36.7 | around it was a set of chairs |
0:38.4 | worth 500 bucks. I rejected the idea, mostly given that I'm still in college and I only made |
0:44.6 | $10 an hour at the time. $500 was about a fourth of the money I had in my bank account at the |

1:30.3 | so naturally I wanted to relax on my days off. |
1:33.3 | Cue my parents deciding that we need to deep clean the entire house. |
1:38.3 | I was helping, and then I received an email about an interview for an internship |
1:43.3 | that I've been working hard to |
1:44.8 | accomplish. I was reading the email, and that's when it happened. I hear my mother's voice. |
1:51.0 | So, are you going to do any work today or just sit on your butt all day? I was really annoyed and said, |
