I was under the impression that the OP was going to purchase the E4c with his own hard-earned money. Yes, his dad is concerned that his son might not know the value of the dollar. It's not a matter of rebellion -- saying that you're going to spend your money on whatever you want and dad can't stop you -- but a matter of showing the dad that you worked as hard as you can to save up the money with the goal (E4c) in mind, and that you still haven't changed your mind despite all the hard work it took to save up $200.
