Entitled Kids!!!!!!!!
My SS is turning 16 tomorrow. He has been asking over and over again about what vehicle he will get and when he will get it. It's never a question of will he get one but when he will. The other two kids who can drive were given cars by my Hubs, his parents and BM's parents when they turned 17. This kid is the self-proclaimed "good kid" who deserves a car and really needs one because he has so many social obligations... Whatever. So my hubs decided to give him my vehicle, a nice car that gets AMAZING gas mileage, for SS's first car. We don't have the extra cash to help buy him a new one right now and this car gets great gas mileage (great for the SS since he can't get a job to pay for gas bc he is too busy, so he says) and it's already paid for. We have a "fun car" that is an extra vehicle and my hubs is thinking of trading that one in for another car for me. So he tells the SS that he can get the paid for car right now to drive or wait until he is 17 like his siblings and we can save up some cash. SS says, thanks but no thanks! He thinks its a girly car and doesn't like the stigma attached to it. ARE YOU FING KIDDING ME????? So he will end up whining and bitching to both sets of grandparents and get whatever he wants. I can't stand it!!! My hubs and I can't even talk about the situation without fighting. These kids are so spoiled it's not even funny. Their entitled attitudes make me not even want to be around them!!! The oldest SD who drives was given a car and didn't have to pay for a car payment, gas, insurance, anything. But she didn't like the car and bitched and complained so much that my hubs father bought her another vehicle. It is just absolutely ridiculous! Cannot stand it. There is nothing I can say or do. It is just disheartening.

Oh my goodness, I am not
Oh my goodness, I am not trying to be rude but I have to ask, if you don't want entitled spoiled children why would you EVER give him a decision on this matter in the first place?! Receiving a car is a HUGE gift, and a huge responsibility, one that obviously he didnt have to work for. And then you two give him the option now of this car now, or more expensive nicer car later? Of course hes going to be a little spoiled prick when you let a child make adult decisions for you when you should have handed him the keys of a beater, and said do what you will but this is the first and ONLY car you will be receiving from us, and everything to do with said car is now YOUR responsibility. Im sorry, but I am not surprised that hes such a brat! I would have told my hubs hands OFF of my car, and for the kid to get a friggen job and buy the car he wants since this one isnt apparently 'good' enough for him , so good luck to him then! This sounds troubling, and im sorry if I sound harsh and if you didnt have much choice in the matter, sounds infuriating!
