I know I am. But in my defense, I always paid back, I just didn’t have it on me or enough at the time of purchase etc. And it’s never super-expensive, usually less than $45. AND I PAY BACK.
So, how did your parents react or would react if you did that? Mine tend to get annoyed that I didn’t ask but I’d rather not go through the hassle of convincing them, plus I’d give it back anyway, right? Right. Their main thing is that I didn’t ask for permission. And I admit that I should.
Re: Using your parent’s credit card w/out permission?
Seriously? I dont see the big deal. Plus, they’ve never gotten angry, just annoyed. I dont see the issue here if they are being paid back.
Oh and I meant debit cards, we dont use credit cards. Heh, not that it makes a difference in the question I’m asking but just thought I’d throw that out there.
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
My parents trust me with their debit card and my mom will have me use hers for grocery shopping, etc. I rarely if ever use it for my own needs. If I accidentally do or need to....I let them know and they're cool about it. They don't demand that I pay them back.
And I pay back out of habit and since I shop too much for fazool stuff anyway (books/heels/makeup) it's only right I pay for my own hobby. And exactly, I TELL them. I dont sneakily use it and don't tell them. I just tell them after and yeah, they get annoyed b/c they a) dont trust internet security and b) I spend it on things they dont find useful.

I think age plays a difference here too, assuming you aren't a 20-year-old. The older you are, the less likely they're to get mad over such trivial things. Of course my parents dont demand I pay them back, I just do it b/c I think I should and they dont refuse my paying back (all the time, at least) considering I buy so often.
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
^You didn't mention age in your OP...but yes age does play a role in how responsible a person is....and so does personality. I remember that even as a teen, I was careful about these things. More so, I feel, than my other siblings at that age. I also sometimes pay my parents back...and sometimes my mom will say that she'll pay me back. I usually don't take the money. It all evens out sometime later down the road. Anyhow, to each his own.
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
I'm 20, RV. And my parents trust me a lot and I've never done anything to make them think otherwise. Plus, I'm the only girl amongst three boys so naturally they trust me more. BUT I dont see what the big deal here is. They are your parents, they give you allowance and spending money etc. What is the harm in using their credit card/money to buy something (not an expensive something. Say $12 for book) and then returning it without them demanding for it and just because you feel you should out of respect? I dont get why it's "theft" as someone up there said.
If I had a responsible kid who I know wouldn't take advantage of my trust and was responsible, I would be fine with them using my credit card to pay for silly random things as long as they did it in a sensible way and didn't exceed their limits.
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
What I meant was that you didn't mention "age" (in general) in connection to the question. Does being of a certain gender guarantee responsibility with money? There will be exceptions. It depends upon the relationship you have with your parents and their observations/experiences in regards to your responsibility. And I'm speaking generally here..not specifically about you. I think that with family...especially with parents...the relationship is such that there's greater room for flexibility with money and many other things. You asked in your original post...how our parents would react...so you're going to get varied responses/perspectives. I simply answered your question/discussed my individual experience. It wasn't an attack on you.

Really now? Is it natural to not trust your sons as much as your only daughter?
I don't quite think that's the usual case neither do I understand how you reached that conclusion.

I think you are confused. This is Life 1 and a guppan posted something, thus it is automatically true regardless of the failed logic. Logic is something that is abnormal here. Actually its not even required.
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
I don't see a problem here, I have used my dad's debit card so many times for online shopping and never paid him back neither did he ask for it... Once I had set up my fone bill from his account and it took him couple of months to realise that every month £30+ are being taken out from his account :Donly then he was lil annoyed but no biggie but ever since I have started working I try to pay my own way by doing groccery shopping every now an then so its balanced I guess

Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
So, um, who's guilty of this?
I know I am. But in my defense, I always paid back, I just didn't have it on me or enough at the time of purchase etc. And it's never super-expensive, usually less than $45. AND I PAY BACK.
So, how did your parents react or would react if you did that? Mine tend to get annoyed that I didn't ask but I'd rather not go through the hassle of convincing them, plus I'd give it back anyway, right? Right. Their main thing is that I didn't ask for permission. And I admit that I should.
Thoughts?
If your name is on the account then why do you need to ask ?
Re: Using your parent's credit card w/out permission?
using parents' credit card is like **"m,aal-e-muft, dil-e-beraHm"*...upon attaining age of maturity, *one must learn to earn b4 learn to spend.**** agree?**
