I saw a video of a father giving his daughter a used car. She came out to the parking lot of her job and was happy and jumping up and down saying “I love it, it’s so ugly I love it”. Her dad told her he was sorry but she kept laughing and was just so thankful and excited. You could see the love between father and daughter was so strong by and he had raised a wonderful person.

My first car was a grass-green '79 Toyota Corolla with a smashed-in trunk that barely opened and closed, but we still paid $600 for it and I loved it. lol

[@greenie2390]

My first car was a Ford Pinto. My dad helped me keep it working and I paid for it by my job. Handouts should not be given to entitled children. If they don't like it. Take it back, get your money back. Put it away or show them you handing it to people in need. To give in to the entitlement is the only thing that is going to keep building (entitled, snotty karens).

[@kellynh9303]

Absolutely. My children are extremely spoiled but they are not entitled brats & they're always grateful, thankful and well behaved.

[@chriscantdraw]

Yep grew up like this as well. We aren’t by any means rich, not even upper middle class. But my parents still tried hard to get me and my sister what we wanted. My mom had a little system in place to help us learn patience so we didn’t expect to have it at our feet as soon as we asked. It’s been nice growing up like that for sure, and my sister and I are very well-rounded hardworking people. The mindset that follows after being spoiled is the difference between a spoiled kid and an entitled kid.

[@No-sv6mu]

My oldest will be 15 in a few months. She is in all honors classes (9th grade), student athlete, and plays on 2 travel sports teams outside of school for hockey and softball. She also works part time. She is so awesome, doesn't really give us a hard time about anything. She is truly her dad's best friend. She is always talking about how much she loves us and her sister. People say we are lucky, but it was alot of hard work raising her to value herself, family, and her future. Now we are, thankfully, having a pretty decent time in her teen years. It KILLS me that I would not be able to afford a new car for her when she is 16. She deserves it, but it just won't be possible financially. She knows this and has been saving her paychecks to help buy a used car when she is 16. We will be buying her a used car and she will keep her money. I just wish I could afford a nice new car for her. Cause I know she would truly appreciate it unlike that monster of a child

[@dellabrakefield3587]

[@lissaw4]

It kills you that you can't buy new? That's crazy. There are hundreds of millions of people who can't even afford a single used vehicle for their entire family. Talking about a used car like it's nothing is nuts. Most kids can't get a car at all. Nevermind that they are statistically going to crash it as some point. This is such an absurd mindset. Most of us adult's shouldn't even be buying brand new vehicles - even if you can financially afford it.

[@No-sv6mu]

@@lissaw4 yeah. She is an amazing kid. All honors classes, smart, respectful, works, doesn't give us any major problems. If there was a kid that should have something nice, it's her. While others her age are failing classes, drinking, smoking up, having sex... she is doing the complete opposite of that.

[@lorinsaurus]

Don't feel too bad about it being used. My grandparents could afford new. They bought my first car used and when I tell you I drove that bad boy until I couldn't anymore🤣 rip buttons. She gave me 10 years of traveling all around the world ❤️ I wanted to keep her longer but I'd already replaced the transmission once and couldn't afford a second time. I think buying used cars regardless builds character and it still gives us a sense of responsibility as teenagers to protect our property, and take care to protect others. I got my first car as an adult in 2019, and then traded that for a mom suv in 21(my now 8 year old is still salty about this). But she will love her car no matter what if it's new or used.

[@annmoore321]

It’s a genuine parenting skill to say “No,” when your kid demands something you either cannot afford, or that would be bad for them. It’s not easy to do, especially when your little angel is throwing a tantrum, and trying to manipulate you. I applaud all parents who stand their ground. We need more people like you.

[@Alta_Potgieter]

Honestly yes once i demanded a new fone and my dad didnt give me any thing for weeks so i can learn and i asked for important things like clothes i liked and he bought it hes teaching me to be responsible

[@maryssaann]

I tell my kids no all of the time. If they’re really asking for something consistently, they can do chores to earn the money to buy it or wait for a birthday or Christmas. Small things just because are a thing because I love my kids but not buying them everything they want the second they ask for it. Kids these days are absolute assholes.

[@cherylhoggins1925]

As a parent I want my child to have all the good things BUT I know it's not realistic and it's not healthy so I say no, I give an explanation and an alternative. Such as, if he wants chocolate then I'll ask him to help with taking the dishes out of the dishwasher, or putting clothes into the washing machine (he's 3).

[@lenibeni7421]

@@maryssaannright? If we go to a store and there is some toy they like… oh yeah it’s cute honey! But I’m not buying it for you just because?!? You’ve got your own pocket money wich you are allowed to spend on what ever you want or you go and put it on your birthday/Christmas wish list and we will see if you get it! But NEVER ever would I buy stuff randomly and just because, not small and not big things! If they really want it they can pay for it with their money (a little weekly allowance given to them) that’s how you teach them how to be responsible and how to take care of their own money. They will learn to manage their own money and will ask themselves "do I really want this?" Because it’s always easier to spend someone else’s money than yours! Just buying your child every little thing as soon as they see it? They will think money grows in trees and they are a special little princess that gets everything they ask for "just because". And that’s not how it goes… you have to work for what you’ve got in this world. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t spoil your kid every once in a while and maybe indulge them in a small treat from the store etc… but it is meant to be a small and a rare occasion not an every week thing! That’s how you get a spoiled brat that is ungrateful af.

[@jacklow9611]

My youngest nephew would plat cribbage with my grandfather (who almost always cheated) so my nephew decided he'd had enough of it, and played something that my grandfather always did, which made him get mad and tell my nephew that he couldn't do that, to which my nephew said, "Why not? You do it all the time." My grandfather got the same look of realization he got when I told him that pinching and poking his grandchildren with sacking needles was not acting his age, and he stopped doing those things. Maybe my youngest aunt (my mother's youngest sister) picked up her game cheating from her dad. She didn't like losing, but sometimes even her cheating didn't help her.

[@recycledapathy7411]

For as far back as I can remember, we played a weird cutthroat/pushover style of UNO if little kids were playing. Like, we'd absolutely hit a kid with a draw 4 if we had to, but then all the adults would do things like "forget" to declare UNO or would draw when we didn't need to so that the kid could then brutalize us right back.

My sister wrecked 3 cars before she was out of high school! He didn't have to drive me anywhere, my friends did that. He was an airline pilot, so he made good money. He insisted on buyin me a new car when I was about 25-26 before he retired because he was just like "let me do this for you before I retire!" I'm 48, he's probably still going to give me money for xmas even though I tell him not to! I got most everything I wanted growing up, but I think because I grew up in a military family and travelled around, I saw how much other people didn't have and I watched the news every night, I just knew I had it good and always appreciated it.

What a sweet gift! I bet it runs well too. I would love to have a van. I live on 20 acres in a very rural area with goats, chickens, and other animals, so a van would be ideal for hauling feed bags and some new baby goats I was 22 when my dad gave me his old car in 1983. It was a 1970 4-door Oldsmobile land yacht with a few dents and no AC. It was beige. Even my grandmother said it was boring! It ran great because dad was a stickler about maintenance. In fact, while I was a teenager he would ask me to "help" him with repairs such as replacing brakes (I helped by bleeding the brakes while he described the process of changing brake pads and getting rotors turned instead of replacing them). He showed me the radiator cooling system and taught me how to put a hose clamp on a cracked hose to stop a leak, taught me which fluids go where and how to check correctly and often, and the proper names and locations for various parts. I'm so grateful for that now because I can describe car problems to a mechanic without sounding like a complete idiot. As a teen I wasn't interested in owning a car because I was scared of all the things that can go wrong. I figured I'd only work at jobs that were close enough to ride my bicycle to. However, those weekends hanging out with dad and talking about life are some of my most treasured memories. I learned much more than vehicle maintenance. When I was 22 I applied for a tech job that I didn't feel qualified for, and to my shock, I was hired! It was 12 miles away so I wasn't looking forward to riding my bike that far but it's good exercise and I'd be stupid not to take the job! Mom and Dad congratulated me and said they wanted to take me out to dinner downtown to celebrate, but he's not sure if there's enough gas in the tank so would I mind driving it to the station down the street to fill it up while they got ready? Um, okay, strange request, especially since we usually took Mom's car because it was nicer but sure... I came back, told them the car had more than half a tank already but I filled it the rest of the way, and here's your keys back, Dad. Dad said, "Those aren't MY keys! They're yours!" I looked out at that beat-up Oldsmobile hoopty in the driveway that was as stylish as a bowl of plain oatmeal and burst into the "ugly cry" of joy. I've never felt more loved in my life! At that moment it dawned on me that Dad spent all those weekends teaching me so that by the time I was ready for a car I'd feel more confident in my abilities. He also wanted me to have the safest car possible and I didn't care that it was "uncool" to my friends. They changed their minds when they realized it could carry 7 people comfortably. I wouldn't have traded it for a Mercedes!

As a mother of 2, I can confirm that every now and then a lil humbling needs to happen. But yes, I do let them win. Need to find the balance between building up their self esteem but not letting them get an ego. It's a fine line sometimes.

[@skwervin1]

You let them win but sometimes you have to let them lose so they can learn HOW to lose like a winner. Being a bad sport was just not allowed in my parents home. If you lost, you lost with a smile, you shook hands or gave a hug or whatever, no throwing down cards and stomping away. You might toss them down with an "aw...damn! You beat me!" But it would be with good humour. I grew up playing cards with adults (euchre, 500, canasta, poker, blackjack, cribbage etc) snooker, pool, billiards etc and if you wanted to be allowed to play you had to act like a grown up and not throw a hissy fit if you lost OR prance around if you won. I was once playing poker with a guy who plays regularly for money and I kept cleaning him out. I was out bluffing him and even when he did beat me, I lost with a smile and it just threw him off his game. The last hand I actually had a superb hand and went all in, he thought I was bluffing and I won the lot and he was almost in tears. Losing with a smile is a great way to out psyche your opponent as well as being a good way of living your life.

The hardest thing in the world for a parent to learn is saying no! I've cried downstairs while my sons were crying upstairs but the answer remained the same.

I can honestly say that tantrums ended pretty quickly in my house. I'd tell them to have at it and let me know when they were done lol. Even outside, if my 2/3 yr old was having a tantrum on the floor, I would just stand by them and tell people, don't mind us, we're just having a learning moment. Once they figure out that screaming doesn't work, they give up, but you give in? well, that's the rest of their childhood spent screaming lol

I used to babysit for three siblings, so much so that I started functioning as a third parent.

The worst part was when the parents came home, they said no as well, but then always ended up saying yes. The next babysitting job I took, I made sure that my parenting views aligned with my client's parenting views!

[@skwervin1]

I used to dress my kids in overalls a lot in winter and once when my then 3 yr old daughter threw a tantrum in a store and threw herself to the floor, I just used the straps on the back of the overalls like handles and picked her up like a handbag, left my trolley where it was and started walking out of the shop. She was so surprised she instantly shut up and asked where we were going. I said we were going home because I didn't want to be seen with such a badly behaved child which was sad because usually you are so good at the shops. She then started to beg me to put her down so we could go back and she promised she she would behave. I only had to do it once... and we did go home. My kids know that when I say something like NO... I mean it.

I am pretty sure that I got nothing for my 16th birthday. In fact, for most of my birthdays I considered myself lucky to get a birthday cake and sometimes a card. Even those stopped by the age of 12 or 13. As a young adult my parents would take my Mom, sister and I out for a “shared birthday dinner” as all of our birthdays are in the same month - usually on my sister’s birthday as it was first up. My birthday was 2 days after my Mom’s birthday, which my Dad always remembered and asked me to pick up a gift for her. But by the time my birthday rolled around (literally 2 days later - every year!) it was often forgotten because “we already celebrated this month”. So no cake, no card, no Happy Birthday wishes - nothing. I learned early that my life events were not a priority for my family. Lesson learned and not forgotten!

When I was 8 years old I rejected a gift because my father bought a gift that I hated, and I regretted it so much as soon as I saw my father's sad face, it became one of my biggest regrets in life and of course I apologized several times and I've never done anything like that since.

[@she-hulkSMASHES]

I’m happy you immediately rectified your mistake.

[@nnyamokkonyak4661]

Same. He got me a princess dress and I said it looks like a fish. Gave it away to cousin. Biggest regret ever for being so insensitive. He's no more.

[@ConnorMiller417]

Watching these videos makes me feel so grateful that i actually had parents who cared. My parents taught me that nothing in life is handed out, you have to earn it. I remember when I got my first car (a Ford truck), it was an older model but my parents made a deal that if I made the honor roll, they would buy me my first car. I worked very hard and I brought home a report card full of A’s and a B. I was overjoyed and looking back now, I can’t thank them enough for teaching me the value of hard work. That’s what these kids today need because it just keeps getting worse with every generation.

[@torijack6426]

I agree. I bought my first car for $2,000 cash that I saved up by working hard and saving my money. It was a 2011 Hyundai Accent bought second-hand from one of my dad's longtime coworkers. He had to teach me how to drive standard because I couldn't afford an automatic! I think it's a valuable life skill.

[@inthedarkanonymous5625]

I have one biological daughter and she has always been precocious. She has also always been remarkably easy to raise. Her tantrum stage was delayed, though. Around five she decided on a tantrum test drive. When we were both calm again, we sat down to talk. I explained that this was not the way people get what they want and as a reminder, in future if she threw a tantrum, not ONLY would she not get whatever the tantrum was about, she wouldn’t get the NEXT thing she asked for, either. About a week and two tantrums later she crawled up on my lap and said conversationally, “This tantrum thing isn’t working for me.” Bingo!

I know a successful doctor from Jordan. His family was well off. He told me a story that when he was 14 his dad wanted him to go for a drive with him. They drove into the desert and stopped at an Arab encampment where his father was friends with the chieftain. There were goats, sheep, camels, tents and a dozen tents. His father left him there and drove off. For a year he lived with the tribe doing all activities they did to stay alive. Then one day his dad showed up and took him home. He told me that was the best thing that ever happened to him and led to his successful life because he learned to take nothing for granted.

[@garethscott418]

My sister knew a rich kid in school whose parents tried to teach them reality through public school. That kid then proceeded to tell people she was being abused at home really badly, my sister was concerned and wanted more details only to discover that her parents had started giving her chores around the house and she thought it was abusive because she didn't want to do it, but her parents insisted.

[@welt8669]

As a mother I absolutely loved the dad playing Uno with his daughter. That’s how I play with my son. I believe it’s important that my children learn that winning isn’t the most important thing, it’s having fun. Also when I play games like that with my kids they will pick up on my strategy and end up schooling me later.

[@karenneill9109]

It’s all a balance. My father never took it easy on me in chess, and so I stopped wanting to play with him. My mother made the occasional mistake, let moves slide now and then, let me win now and then, and I loved playing with her. I started actually beating her when I was 16. I had a close relationship with her until she passed away 10 years ago. My father is still alive, and I haven’t spoken to him in just as long.

[@shannonlaforme8344]

I did as the same, still do with the youngest 9yo twins. We laugh so hard and sometimes I win, sometimes one of them win. It’s the laughs for me ❤

[@lindajonsmil]

When I play a card game or a board game with the grade school kids I babysit, I tell them “If you were 3 I’d let you win, but you’re older. If you win it’s because you earned it”. I don’t buy into all the participation trophies. Nothing is earned any more. Kids feel entitled to get whatever they want.

I let my daughter win a few games but as soon as she started getting cocky like that, I kicked her by really playing and savored the tears. This went on until she could fairly beat me and then I felt a level pride in the fact she had learned how to play for real.

I play a lot mario games with my nieces and nephews and obviously because they're kids they're shit at games 😂 but I'm not gunna let them win, they just tell me how good I am and I'm like thanks 😏😂 and in a few years they'll probably be better than me! But over the past few years I've seen the tantrums my nephew gets from losing go from running off screaming to saying to me 'good game auntie tora', it's so cute 🥰

[@Just1Nora]

My sister and I would get so upset with our grandparents for very obviously and intentionally losing every game of memory. Once she and I even rigged the card placement and gave hints trying to give him the W. When we got old enough to play Kings Corners then they started to play for real once we understood the game. A certain amount is luck, so the games went either way.

[@kerryhorwitz4093]

My (young) child tried the tantrum thing. Once. I kept my voice completely normal. I calmly, but so I was clearly heard said something like: "Scream away. That's fine. When you're ready to talk about your problem, I am ready to listen. " I sat down and picked up a paper. She screamed and thumped her little legs on the floor. No response. Rinse and repeat for a while. Finally, she was silent. I peeped behind the paper. She was sitting up indignantly. Then she came over. "Mummy, can I talk wiv oo now, please?" "Certainly," I said, with all the magnanimity I could muster without wetting myself laughing. "What is the problem you want to talk about?" This was almost 40 years ago. Nowadays, people are scared of their kids. They are terrified that the neighbours will call in child services if a child is having a tantrum.

Omelette man reminded me of something I witnessed several years ago. I was working security at an electronics company that had a rule that anything going out needed a property pass. I was berated by one of the managers trying to claim that this didn't apply to her department. She was immediately shut down and provided with an opening God hadn't intended by another manager who informed her that she wasn't special and the rules applied to her and her department also. Why omelette man reminded me of this? It was Halloween and manager number 2 was dressed as Raggedy Ann. It was quite surreal. I never had a problem with manager number 1again.

My first car was my mom’s used fire truck red Citroen 2CV and I was immensely proud of it. I loved this car and I was the only one who even had her own car to drive to school with. The adventures we had in this little duck. So much fun. My parents were far from poor but somehow I grew up in a time where brands where much less important and I am thankful for that.

[@arielcartley9346]

At the end of the day, it's not about the gift being what you wanted, it's about the fact that someone thought of you at all and the effort and trouble that they went through to try and make you happy. Even if they don't get it right all the time, we need to appreciate the lengths that were taken.

[@sailormana6249]

Yeah, I agree. My mom asked me what I wanted to do for my 16th and all I wanted was an ice cream party with my friends, presents were a bonus and a privilege, I could never imagine being so upset about a free car and $1,600. The worst part is when the mom was thinking of taking it back to get the car her daughter wants....that behavior shouldn't be rewarded and if she wants to be a good parent it's the Tesla or no car for the 16 year old baby
