Can I buy a notebook at 14 (without my stepfather's consent)?

La
12

I have wanted to buy a notebook for some time. I partly earned the money myself from mini-jobs. My birth mother doesn't mind, but my stepfather probably doesn't agree with it, as he's often quite strict and sometimes spins on the bike for the smallest details. So the question is whether I can buy the notebook without my stepfather's consent and what I do if my stepfather learns about it.

That doesn't make much sense, does it?

Talk to the two of them openly… Show them the advantages. Stay calm and factual. Say e.g. That it can help you at school etc. Get your approval would be my advice

The guy has nothing to say in my opinion. I'm not sure how this is regulated by law, but actually your mother should have to decide.

Believe this stepfather is a bad guy

La

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately you can't really talk to him about such things.

Co

Seems so, but we don't know him…

Co

Since she is a minor, in practice she is not allowed to conclude a contract. The legal guardians have to say that…

Cu

Difficult

Cu

The mother is ok with it and is the person entitled to relate

Co

You have nothing to lose, do you? You pay for the thing yourself. Just try a conversation… If that fails, you can always try something else

Co

Yes. If the mother agrees, she may, but maybe catches the stepfather's stress… You could "overvote" the stepfather together if both say yes, he may also say yes

Cu

Yes that would be the ideal case

La

I'm a guy, but thanks for all the answers from you. That definitely helps me a little.

Co

Oh excuse me. I hope we could help you. It should be a win-win situation for everyone. You shouldn't cause trouble. Everything should agree. Prepare for a conversation, e.g. With 2-3 good arguments (as I said yes, for example, helpful at school, etc.) and also tell your stepfather that you would like him to agree and that you can understand his concerns, etc… (Unfortunately, I do not know him how far you can talk to him or what objections he has)
