I was up the country this week and talking to my mechanic mate.
He was lamenting problems with his 17 Yo son. Kid has had his P plates about 6 Months and on his 7th car so far. Father has got him several decent cars but he's not happy with them because they are not cool enough for him, not fast enough, including a forester Turbo and Ford turbo and he thrashes the things to death.
Mate realised his mistake in giving him money for these things then fixing them at his own cost.
Son wanted more money for another one and Mate said no, you owe me enough, you are never happy, Up to you from now. Next thing kid is posting a whinge running the mother and father down ( remarried and separate) and making out they are the worst in the world because they " Wouldn't get him the car he really wanted"...... Whatever the fk that is!
He rang father few days after his social outburst again to help him with the latest car he'd ruined and mate questioned him about the post.
Kid complained that his father wouldn't give him more money for this latest rush of blood to the head and mate said no, I have put you in 4 good cars so far and you either sell or ruin them and then expect me to pay the majority for another one. Mate said time to stand on your own feet now son, I have done enough.
Kid turns round and calls him all the Names under the sun and tells him he can go fk himself.
I couldn't believe it when he told me. Kid has always been a precious little shit but mate is one of the most generous people with his time I know and helps out people he doesen't even like because he thinks it's the right thing to do. I have seen some of the cars he gave the little shit, The forester Turbo was a great car but the kid got rid of it because " Driving an auto put him to sleep and his mates laughed at him." I told the kid at the time, you should have kept the car and got yourself some new and better mates.
I can see how heart broken my mate is that the son has gone off at him like that. I'd certainly be heart broken if my son ever said anything to me in that vein wondering where the hell I went wrong?
The kid is a twit no 2 ways about it but to be that self centred and ungrateful after all the father has done for him all his damn life is incredible. He is telling people that when he finishes school, He's going to go into the executive program for the shop he packs shelves for 4 hours a week, earn a fortune, buy the car he wants, a house and... get himself an asian bride. What 17yo white kid goes round telling people he's going to get an asian Bride like they are some sort of Commodity? He's not right in the head I reckon.
Mate is on his 2nd marriage and the new wife also has kids. Her Ex bought their daughter a current Model BMW demo when she got her licence earlier in the year and the daughter bitched because it was a used car and not a brand new one. Her father was wiser than she gave him credit for, she wrote it off 3 months after she got it.
My kids had brilliant friends in every way that have all grown up to be fine young adults but so many things you hear of precious little shits that need a punch in the face these days is incredible. Some of the girls my daughter works with are self centred little bitches even by her admission and she can't get over how they talk and treat their parents let alone everyone else.
I feel so much for my mate. The little shit son was an IVF baby and his father has worshipped him all his life. He's tried to support him and done so much for the sons benefit and this is what he gets.
Ever I run across the little prick again, I will tell him exactly what I think of the little bastard.
I had a falling out with my father and I didn't talk to him for 10 years. I never called him what my mates son did or even near it. I remember the conversation well when I told him calmly I didn't want to keep in touch any more, we were different people and pretending there was something there because we were father and son was pointless. We settled our difference's when My son was born and are now close but I had more civility and respect in my little finger for my father even when I din't want anything to do with him than so many of these kids have now.
Had a few rows with my kids as teenagers but they never called me things like my mates kid called him and he had less reason to call him things than my kids had to not call me half as bad.
There are, thank your preferred Daiety, a LOT of good kids out there but geez Louise, there are some REAL little mongerals and it's not because they came from bad homes or had parents that didn't love and care for them. Cases I have seen first hand couldn't be more opposite. Just seems a social mentality with so many kids now that their parents are all bastards and they are embarrassed by them rather than having any brains, decency or respect for them which they have well earned.
I wonder what these kids are going to get from their Kids?
Plenty of payback I hope.
