You feel like your Dad OWES you? Beyond the food, house, education, clothing, gadgets, etc that he's already providing?

How much money are you contributing to the household? Can you afford to feed all these animals on your own?
Tortoises live a LONG time.

What are your grades like? Are they excellent?

What are your daily chores, weekly chores, monthly chores, and do you always do them well and with no complaints?

I am not meaning to sound mean, but it's sounds like you think you are entitled to have whatever you want, without any of the responsibility for finances.
Nagging and grumping are never good, no matter with whom or where.

Once again, not being mean. Just shocked a bit at the generational changes!

I know when my kids were young if they took that attitude with me they got nothing but more chores to do and less privileges.
