Question For Those Of You With Divorced Parents

[RW]

I taught my dad a lesson on that one.



My son called him and asked him for a scooter that cost $180.  My dad agreed but my son had to "earn it" by doing a set of chores around the house.  So my son did the chores and got his scooter.  My daughter was given a credit for $180 and had to do chores to earn it, which she did.  So I called my dad up about her gift.  This is how it went:



Me: Dad, you know how you said [my daughter] had a credit?

Dad: Yeah...

Me: Well she figured out that a kitten costs $90 at the SPCA and she figures with $180 she can get two of them.

Dad: Yeah...

Me: We already have two cats and we aren't going to have any more.  She is really excited that she can get these two kittens now so you are going to have to tell her no and she's going to cry her little heart out. (My daughter didn't actually want any kittens.)

Dad: I'm not telling her no!  You have to tell her no!

Me: I'm sorry Dad but this was your offer so you are going to be the one who gives her the bad news.

Dad: Oh Jesus.  Now what am I going to?  I don't want to upset her.

Me: And this is why we don't make offers like this to 10 year olds.

Dad: Yeah....

Me: Oh and she doesn't actually want kittens.  I just wanted to teach you a lesson.

Dad: You little shit!

You made your point well RW..



I never had to worry myself that my parents would spoil my children because they couldn't afford to do that.

You say some nonsensical things..



I have never thought of lumberjacks as being more or less tolerant than a secretary or an electrician.
