i have to watch my snakes starve as punishment

This is terrible. I have a 4-year-old daughter and I'm getting a degree to teach pre-school and I can honestly say that the lot of you are unfit to raise the next generation of children. There was nothing that implied the OP was incapable of taking care of the pets. I personally interpreted this as a simple asking of advice and that his/her parents were actually forbidding them from feeding their animals, which is a crime. Anyone ever heard of benefit of the doubt? No? Well then look it up. There's no proof as to whether this post is a troll or not and therefore, you cannot claim it is. Innocent until proven guilty, right? As for contacting the store, what exactly did you mean "resolved"?

Yeah the people that think the kid should have to be held accountable for lying and going behind their parents backs bringing an animal into their home without permission are the ones not fit to raise kids, ok. No it's parents that let their children walk all over them, want to be more of a pal than parent that is the problem. Part of the whole "you can do whatever you want" "everyone is a winner and gets a trophy" generation.
Raising a bunch of monsters that can't hear the word no without needing a "safe place"
It's pretty simple until you live on your own and pay your own bills you live by your parents rules. You want to feed the snakes? Go get the rodents yourself. If the op can go buy a snake, they should have no issue going and getting the food for them.
