Its that kind of view on the way kids should be raised in this society that have given so many of my generation such a sense of entitlement that it makes me sick. My mom wanted to help me get a car, so she started paying me to do extra chores so that I could save up some money. I needed help affording my college text books so she paid me 200 dollars to spread 1/2 ton of gravel on her driveway. And the same sort of thing again when she needed new shingles on her roof.
Now, my mom may be a bit on the extreme but I was trying to prove a point. Buying your kid a 2000 dollar car for their 16th birthday is one thing, but honestly, if you think you're giving your kids ANYTHING when you buy them a 31000 dollar car for their 16th birthday, you're out of your mind.
