Pleasing your children instead of teaching them the value of money and not spending beyond your means is shytty parenting. Truly shytty parenting.

It's not always about teaching lessons and things like that. Sometimes you wanna make your child happy Bruh.


So tell me this if I have a daughter who has been asking for a certain toy but I have $100 to last me for a week. I'm a shytty parent if I go spend $60 on it? I have to go without eating lunch at work for a couple days to make my baby happy means I'm a shytty parent?

Yeah, I hear you but I disagree with it.
Simple as that.

I see my aunt raise her spoiled ass kid, working two jobs so the little lazy b*stard can sit at home and play on an Xbox One and call other kids next to him poor, work hard so she can get that little shyt iphones, new Js.

Made me appreciate my father more for getting me functional shyt and making me work cutting neighbors grass (had to pay him for gas and lawn mower rental) to get what i wanted as a kid coming up.

No offense but whats your point? He was spoiled you wasn't if it doesn't hurt what happens to y'all most people would rather be the other kid. The life lessons stuff is overrated and sounds good stuff most times to me.

Same point as the post I was replying to.
I disagree with that person and I don't support it and think its bad parenting.
Simple as that.
If you disagree fine.

Simple as what? You actually said nothing on why you think its bad parenting. You just went with some vague opinion. If the only reason is your opinion you honestly just sound like and probably are just envious you had to do more to get the same. I can't disagree with nothing though fam you really didn't say much explaining yourself. If you just want to throw stuff out and your rebuttal is just your opinion fine.

I have already said why I think its bad parenting.

Here is a direct quote, in the future try reading a thread before you jump in the middle of a convo string you aren't a part of starting. :smile:

If you are poor your parents shouldn't be buying designer shoes in the first place. That is shytty parenting

Instead of hating and being jealous why didn't you just appreciate the difference and how cool it was to go kick it with yo cousin who had everything. There's more than one way to skin a cat. You Don't have to degrade how others do it becuase of the way you had to do it.

Not hating or being jealous, there is aboslutly nothing to be jealous of or hate in that situation, watching a child whose parent failed the because he has no idea about what it takes to work and save for what he wants and is a lazy entitled kid.

I don't kick it with my cousin because he is a child and I'm an adult.

Calling out poor parenting isn't degrading, its stating a fact.
If you are poor, you shouldn't be spending money to get your kid designer shoes. It is sad that this is some how called hating or not looked at as common sense.

So does your aunt know you think she's a shytty parent or do you smile in her face and just talk about her behind her back. Did she mistreat you as a child and this is how you lash out at her? You callin a child names so clearly you have some type of resentment in this situation. People can bring their kids along the way they see fit. Just because a chis is spoiled doesn't mean they will grow up to be lazy and entitled. You sound real uptight.

Yes, I've told her she is spoining her child and she needs to put him to work. Sometimes she complains about working hard to get him something and my sisters and I all tell her, she needs to stop spoiling him he is rotten.

So we got past your weak attempts at deflection and trying to attack me, instead of the point i raised, what do you have left?

Yep people can raise their child anyway they like, and i can say they are shytty parents.
