Downwardly Mobile
Evil stepmother pays the phone bills,
and following the first bill after brat girl came to live with the
problem parents she registered with BT on line in order to keep track
of the teenagers usage. The last bill was in October and it came to
£95.95, £12 up on the previous one, which was up on the
one before that.
Yet again the problem parents had words
with brat girl about calling mobiles on the house phone.
The next phone bill is due on the 9th
January and it currently stands at £136.13. That is before any
charges or VAT have been added.
£121.90 of this is for 262 calls
to mobile phones. £52.73 on just 11 calls to bob, and most of
the rest are to brat girls friends.
So on her extra day off work evil
stepmother spends the best part of a morning trying to get more
information about call barring, rather than any of the half dozen
things she had hoped to do. She eventually establishes that BT do
not bar calls to mobiles on their own, but package them together with
national and international calls. Crap dad is not convinced that
this would work, as brat girl would almost certainly work out the pin
number to lift the bar, and besides .. it would be a burden to the
problem parents, having to 'administer' it.
So there's going to have to be some new
rules ...
Brat girl is going to pay for the
bill she has clocked up this quarter, and she will repay it within
the next quarter.
Brat girl will pay for her own
calls in all future bills too.
Brat girl will no longer take the
telephone up to her bedroom, but will make all her calls downstairs.
Calls from the house phone to
mobile phones are absolutely banned, except to brat girls birth
mother.
If any of the rules are broken then the
problem parents will get BT's call barring service, brat girl will
then have to suffer the ignominy of having to ask permission to use
the phone every time she wants to speak to a friend.
* crap dad is already practising saying
“No”.
