A list, in no particular order
... of the things that skid1 has asked DH to buy him in the last 44 hours:
- a new backpack (reasonable, and purchased)
- new $100 shoes because he "lost" the ones he got 3 months ago (nope)
- a new phone (he's gone through 4 iphones in 18 months, so nope)
- a lamp that costs more than our couch (nope)
- a new bike (he's ruined 3 in two years, so nope)
- a desk chair that costs more than our dining room set (nope)
- a sportscar when he gets his license (hell to the NOPE)
- a new bedding set (his is less than a year old, so nope)
- a new bed (nope)
- a single pair of $25 socks (nope)
- a go pro camera (nope)
- a new radio controlled car (he has two already, worth several hundred dollars, and has ruined both of them, so NOPE)
- a new bottle of $80 cologne because he's tired of the one he has (nope)
- a new laptop, because his is too slow (nope)
- fast food, when we have a fridge and pantry full of the groceries I just bought (DH caved on this one. I guess he got off cheap!)
It NEVER ends with him. DH wonders why I don't want to go out and do things with them, but it's so fucking annoying to hear the whining ALL. DAY. LONG. No thanks, DH - I'll enjoy my empty house today while you let your kid convince you that he's deprived :sick:

Wow. Kids think they are
Wow. Kids think they are entitled to so much these days. How old is this kid? Maybe he should get a job and buy himself some of these frivolous things.
He is 13. He CLAIMS he wants
He is 13. He CLAIMS he wants to get a job as soon as he legally can (in 6 months), but he is also lazy so I doubt that will actually happen. DH has a standing offer to pay him $10/hr to help with yardwork (we have a large property and it's a MESS right now so there is plenty of time skid1 could spend out there) and over the whole summer, he worked for two hours. He'd rather guilt dad into taking him to do fun things (like ride go karts) than actually work.
Wow, he is quite the entitled
Wow, he is quite the entitled young man, isn't he. He reminds me of my former ss at 13...and at 40.
I finally walked when daddy bought him a house. Yes. A. House.
I guess I should say "be thankful his father can say "no" to him on some things."
lol I find it funny how the
lol I find it funny how the list ranges from practical things (albeit unnecessary- socks, bed, bedding) to gadgets and games to all out sports car.
I can imagine that crap gets tiring really easily
It is truly exhausting. His
It is truly exhausting. His brother is completely different - saves all of his pennies and the most he ever asks for is a Lego set every once in a while. It's hard to believe they're related lol!
Contrary to what the
Contrary to what the delusional Twuntzilla pumps into his head, we are not wealthy. We make decent money, but not great. We're comfortable.
Even if we were though, the entitlement train has reached the end of the line. The kid takes care of nothing, so it is pointless to keep buying him things to destroy.
lol! my ss always NEEDS a new
lol! my ss always NEEDS a new pair of shoes.
don't even get me started on
don't even get me started on the fast food!!!!!! constant fights at our house bc that is all our ss wants. even when we had the same things at home to make a sandwich, he wants dunkin! waste of money and bc my man is too lazy to make him one and doesn't want to say no. finally since my ss has gotten a summer job he wastes his own money on the junk. thank god that war is over with.
Wow...reminds me of "back in
Wow...reminds me of "back in the day" when I was married and we moved into our first home. SS then 12, stated loudly "I call dibs on the master bedroom" - right in front of the real estate agent. I promptly corrected his theory...right in front of the real estate agent. His father just looked "blank" like always.
Wow. So many kids think
Wow. So many kids think they're entitled. When I was little I knew who in charge and why. I never would've never thought I was on the same level of entitlement as my parents.
My SD is 6 and constantly
My SD is 6 and constantly talks about stuff she wants: iPad, Wii, iPod touch, PlayStation, etc. When we tell her maybe when she's older we can get them, she tells us she already has them at her BM's house and wants them for our house too! So her BM is clearly wasting the $1500/month child support on these things. She's a waitress who otherwise couldn't afford them. And my SD can't go every other weekend without them? Its also frustrating that she thinks her mom can afford them and we can't, when the opposite is actually true.
I know this is an old blog
I know this is an old blog but THIS is SSstb13 to a tee. He asks for things (anything) constantly, and when he runs out of realistic things, he starts asking for hypothetical things. It is one of his most annoying behaviors and drives me absolutely nuts. Within 2 hours last Saturday, he asked me for popcorn, hot cocoa, to go somewhere fun (about 5 times) to scratch his head, to cuddle, for a car when he turns 16, for an xbox, if I was feeling well, for some chips, for mcdonalds, omg that's not even the full list. BS6 and BS9 did not ask for ANYTHING at all during that time, and in fact did not even talk to me as they were in their room playing with toys. Eventually I told SS "Ask your dad" to everything he said and he said "Daddy only tells me no" and I said "Exactly, that's the answer". He sulked away but came back several times more with random comments. Ugh.
