Some parents are Dumb, but wait a minute here comes the grandparents.
 

Okay, lemme tell you guys a true story, I'm bored sitting here at work so hang with me.

Back around 1999, a guy a year younger than me was given a 1999 SS camaro for him to drive at the tender age of 17. I'm driving down the road in my 86'Z and here comes numnuts hauling ass around me, i say to myself, "gosh i wish mommy and daddy would buy me a brand new car"

a year or so later he got in trouble at school and his parents took his camaro away and sold it off. I'm sure it had to do with something called drugs, but BRAVO! parents that act when their kid gets thrown out of class.

Only month later, i see him in a totally different camaro, a brand new 2001 camaro SS/w SLP package. WTF, I said as I went on to school. What happened to that you ask, I will tell you, Him and his friend got drunk (under age) one day and decided to go driving, crashed the car into a ditch and hit a telephone pole, didn't do too much damage but thats not the point is it?

They were both hauled off to jail and the parents were called. They were asked to come in and they said no, and left him in jail for two days, BRAVO! i said as the camaro was sold away from him to somebody.

A year goes by and his parents havn't bought him any thing new, but the grandparents decide to step in with their gift of a brand spankin new Blue Corvette, do i need to explain what is probably going to happen to it. When something does happen to it I will give this thread a post bump because i know it's going to happen!

When will people learn that their child is just not a good boy and needs a :paddle:in.

whomever bought those cars after the incidents, surely came up.
why i oughta :paddle: :slice::flame::fighting0056:
some people just dont appreciate things

So his grand parents bought him a corvette without even asking his parents?!!?!?!?!?!?! :mad0260:


i hope his parents take it away and scold the grand parents.

^Don't know

shoot him.

Amen to that. (no ...not the shoot'em part. I could never saaaay that).

But c'mon....that kid needs an ass whoopin'.

my way is simpler.... and alleviates the world of more idiots..


I call it forced evolution.

So C_C, what ever did happen to the blue Corvette? :rolleyes:

:bellyroll: A premeditated Darwin award! :laugh:

Wow what idiot parents and grandparents.

Lets get an update tho!

Don't you guys realize that this happened in the early 2000s? c_c probably doesn't know what happened otherwise he would have posted it

:confused0068: :confused0068: :confused0068: :confused0068: :confused0068:


I told my kids from the time they were very young that even if we had a million $$$$$$$, we would NEVER buy them everything they wanted...we have the goal of raising 2 healthy and (hopefully) well-adjusted adults that can live and support themselves independently....:rolleyes:

I once heard Dr Phil(please don't 'flame me':yikes:)say that parents that cater to their children's every single whim and buy them every single thing they WANT, but don't EARN are somewhat guilty of 'child abuse'(HIS words, not MINE)...he said that is because the world is not going to hand them everything they want and spoil them, so they need to learn about disappointments and having the pride of working for something for themselves...

OK, I'm off the 'soapbox'...lol...;)

'NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED CAMARO5 VIEWING ENJOYMENT'....CARRY ON FOLKS!!!...:popcorn: :popcorn:

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Even though, I guess it's the other way around for me in the way that I'm a son and not a parent yet. But, I can't agree more. The one thing that when I will have kids I will give them is the best quality of education that I will be capable of affording, so only private school, and of course the obvious food, shelter and clothing. But, if they will want a car, or anything else along such lines, I will not buy it for them, just like my parents refused to buy me a car. Now that I know the value of a dollar and hard work, I have three cars, which I paid for by my self. I do not expect anything to be handed to be on a silver plater, and neither will my kids.

:word: I too had to earn what I got. My first car had 88K miles on it and my dad bought it for 2k. I had to pay for the registration, insurance, etc. You learn to appreciate things more when they aren't constantly handed to you. A lot of kids these days have a sense of entitlement.

Yep, actually come to think of it, I only hang out with friends that have had to buy their own first cars, etc. too.

I don't see it as learning the hard way. Had my parents bought me my first car. it probably would have been in a ditch or somewhere totaled. Spoiled brats don't appreciate the things that are given to them, but when somebody has to work hard for the things that they own, then they learn to appreciate these things a lot more.

I guess I just repeated what you said lol

The only thing that I see differently is education, since public schools suck nowadays. (But this is coming from someone that went to private anyway, so I'm biased) So if I ever have kids, I will invest in the best private schools that I will be able to afford for them

I would have kicked him out of the house and let him be a burden to his grandparents! :chevy:

crazy

I agree about the majority of the public school systems. Lack of funding and lack of caring on some teachers parts due to being underpaid. Working hard for the nice things I have in life (Camaro, goodies for the Camaro and all my home electronics) has made me appreciate it so much because there was a time in my life I couldn't afford the things I wanted. I could only look and dream. ;)

I have a 12 year old son and I try to give him things he wants but there is a point where you draw the line. He also has to do chores around the house to earn certain privileges. He asked if he could have my Camaro when he turned 16 and my simple reply was.....:laugh::bellyroll:. I told him he might get a car at 16 but he might not get one until he was 18 like me and he would need to pony up the dough to pay for his insurance, etc. He said I was being mean. :D I told him he would understand one day and appreciate what I've done.

Unfortunately, stuff like this happens way too often

That's still pretty lenient but eventually he will understand

:sm0: :sm0: :sm0: :sm0: :sm0: :sm0:

lol, I seriously laugh out loud when I hear schools have a lack of funding or teachers being underpaid
but good for you, you sound like a responsible parent with a style I would someday like to use raising children

well, you're from SoCal... so maybe things are different there. But there are plenty of schools that could use more funding. And if teachers got paid better, maybe we'd attract more skilled teachers that can actually... ya know... teach.

:word:

Kids at private schools are exactly same as public school and education usually neck and neck and most private school teachers aren't any better than public school teachers

Wow! When did this thread get a bump. I honestly haven't seen the kid in a loong time. Looked all beat to hell last time I saw it. I don't think it had been washed in probably a year. I'll see what I can conjure up.

A friend from HS wrecked his Vette senior year. He was in a coma and paralyzed. It really sucked because he was a nice guy, even though his family had money.

I'm glad my parents didn't give me a sports car at that age.

LOL Spike! :sm0:

:popcorn: It's like a "Where are they now?" for threads! :laugh:
