The one between three and three.
So this popped up on my timeline from a group I'm in: Parents bought their daughter an old late 90's/early 00's Buick Century for her first car. Chick is 16 and doesn't like the way the car looks and complains about it.

Is she trippin or nah?

The daughter is being ungrateful. However, if she feels the car is ugly, her feelings are valid.

She just won’t have a car until she can pay for the one she wants.

We found a green '93 Taurus for my eldest when she turned 19. She was happy as shit to have it. Told her she had to be careful until I was able to get the speedometer fixed, she took it upon herself to find a speedometer app for her phone and was like "nevermind". She bounced the shit outta that car until it finally died, then she bought her next one.

My philosophy about giving is this:

Don't give anything that you wouldn't buy for yourself.


If momma and daddy are driving nice cars, then buy their daughter a bucket, that says how much they think of their daughter.

This is what they look like:

For a 16 year old's first car, free and clear the shit ain't bad at all. Hardly a bucket. She got what a 16 year old gets: an older car that doesn't cost a whole lot to maintain that won't break the bank on insurance.

What the parents drive is neither here nor there.

That's a bucket. Most people wouldn't want to be caught dead in that.

They couldn't even get her a 2010 Honda Civic.

But like, I said, I'm different.

I give like I am buying for myself. I always did that.

If I know I wouldn't drive it, I wouldn't buy it as a gift.

If my kid needed a car and that's the best I can do, I would tell them that. But I wouldn't present it as a gift but a tool.

I'm not giving my kid something that would equate to me buying it for myself cause I work for a living to provide for them
 
Weird convo.

Daughter didnt say anything disrespectful. She said she dont like it.

I would have been like well too bad and laughed at her like baby this is the car you got. Here the keys and would have told her to get a job so she can buy what she wants.

Going from "i dont like the car" to "your ungrateful and im gonna have your dad talk to you" in one text is wild.

Probably fake like yall said

This is bs.

That’s like saying handing down a car to your child is a bad thing.

I am not saying it's a bad thing, I am saying it's not a gift. It's a utility.

Let's put it this way.

Say you have a super rich friend.

You don't have a car.

He has a fleet of cars supercars.

He gets you a 1995 Honda Accord and acts like he brought you the moon.

You gonna feel some type of way because he just demonstrated what he thinks of you.

He didn't have to get you an M8. He could've brought you a used 2023 Toyota Camry so your repairs are affordable and it fits your lifestyle.

What people give to others says a lot about what they think of someone in relation to themselves.

Gratefulness isn't about what is received, it's about how a person relates to the giver.

I got a Rolex so I'ma buy my best friend or my favorite girlfriend a Rolex because I see myself as an extension of them. They feel grateful because they see themselves as an extension of me.

Lol, the idea that parents should intentionally give their kids less than what they have because they are the parent is just weird.
