Jill's Parents complaining about phone bill


Who the f**ck grounds their kids over a damn phone bill? Also she was grounded for a month, are you serious? And not only that you're worried about her driving at night but not for babysitting for kids in a mansion with one other person you never met? This really pissed me off! I would have loved to see the parents at the end, probably grounded jill for having to pay for the sh*t that was broken in the mansion.

Well let's see, she was 600 minutes over her limit, which comes to what, 13 hours? How much higher does that make a phone bill when you don't have limitless? And all that for what, she's being a moody little bitch because her boyfriend kissed another girl, she could've told him off face to face, it would've taken 2 seconds and her parents would get stuck with a high phone bill for it. But I do agree it was stupid deciding she's going to learn responsibility by babysitting for the Hiltons where she can just watch TV and raid the fridge all night? Uh-uh, if she's going to pay the bill, get her a job where she has to wear a uniform and do actual work, scrub toilets or wait tables, something.

well said novastar, my parents woulda knocked me upside the head if i ever ran a phone bill that much over, grounding her was perfectly reasonable, I would made her get a job and pay me back and let her take care of her own cell phone bill in the future. Thats A LOT of money.

LOTS of parents ground their kids for stuff like that. She was a spoiled brat who deserved to be grounded; hell, I would've cancelled her service & made her pay for her own phone after running over her minutes like that.

She probably racked up about $500 in overage charges no *beep* she got grounded.
