Do you think my mom is overreacting?

*Yes I realize that this is the wrong section*

Okay, so my mom HATES to waste money. And today I was browsing the app store and accidentally brought an app for like $1.99 (I'm forbidden to purchase stuff). Now she's yelling at me and scolding me for wasting money and being irresponsible and blah blah blah. It was an accident, and it's only 2 bucks. What do think about this in your opinion?

    Your mom needs to chill. I can relate, and what I do in these situations is just hand over the money and walk away -.-

    Well, yeah maybe she's a little overreacting. I mean it's less than two bucks.

    But look, I don't know you, maybe you're constantly being irresponsible when it comes to money and that's what really pisses her off. Think about it, and try to more careful in he future for maybe it'll be an important amount of money next time.

    Accidentally?-- that's not possible, don't you have to sign in, click on a few things before you buy it.

    When i buy stuff i have to go through about 3 things before it will even let me buy it, and that's no "Accident"

    I'm with your Mum on this one and i'd ban you altogether.

    Well, I have a mother just like yours, but it actually depends if your mom doesn't have that much money. You cannot consider that as an accident.

    I think she was overreacting, unless she has very little money to the point that every penny counts.
