Sell some old games to get the extra $, then you won't be down $100. You can also return the board games that you get. :)

Tell your father he is teaching you a horrible life lesson in reliability and worth of one's word. If that doesn't work tell him to pony up or he is getting rotten fish in his tire wells every morning until you graduate.

So horrible the way he's providing you with a place to sleep and food, Let's you watch TV and use internet they pay for!

Kid, your very arrogant, and you need to learn to buy your own stuff. You almost sound spoiled and this more like a pouting topic. Regaurdless, you have no idea what you have that other kids dont.

Uh yeah, shelter and food in so far as providing to your child is actually something you should do if you don't want to go to jail. It isn't being nice, and having those things doesn't mean you should thank your lucky stars. Telling anyone not to mention a member of your immediate family that you are going to do something and then go back on it without good reason not only reflects poorly on said person but in the case of a parent/child relationship can be pretty damaging.

Well, if the 360's on layaway, then your situation just means that you'll have to wait just a little longer to pay it off. I see your point being promised one thing, then your dad backs out, but there is probably a valid reason why he's doing that. But in all reality, there is no reason to be selfish. Christmas is the time for giving, not for getting.

Good call by your parents going with board games rather than basicly giving you money for video games. Sorry, I love video games, but I'd never ask my parents to get games for me since I just don't see it as something parents should buy for their kids once they reach age 13 or 14.

When I was a kid, I always bought lots of video games. Bought my own Gamecube and Xbox. Once your 15 and 16, get a job and buy stuff with your own hard earned money. And if your parents do decide to get you anything period, be greatful.

Me, I'm simply greatful my parents are helping me through college and I got a roof to sleep under. I'd feel the same if I were you and try not to ever be mad at your folks.
