Do parents not teach their kids the value of shit these days?
My parents made sure I knew the Gameboy I got was basically equivalent to the crown jewels and I’d probably be drawn and quartered if I ever lost it
I try but for awhile we were petty well off and spent over a thousand for the kids on Christmas for a few years. Well they got spoiled and the things were not taken care of. So now that were broke they have to learn the hard way about the cost of things.
My brother had a friend who was not taught the value of other people’s things. He would steal stuff from us, and when we told our mother, she found out where he lived and confronted his mother. The guy’s mother told my mother that her kids (my brother and I) deserved to be stolen from, we let the thief into the house and were too weak to stop him. IIRC we got our stuff back, but we were told not to have that guy over anymore.
Even odder still, my brother is still friends with this guy. He lives in an RV and dresses like a Count. Cape and all. I shit you not. Dude is weird. He went to shake my hand. He was wearing white bejeweled gloves. Like rhinestones or some shit. Yes, I checked my pockets after. Had my wife check hers, too.
Reminds me when my son came home with Xbox X. Said kid from school gave it to him. Went to kids house grandma had no clue he just gave away this expensive gift she got him. In the end though grandma said he can do what he wants and why we have an Xbox X.

Yeah pretty much. But some kids just dont appreciate gifts given to them. And as a parent I just wanted to make sure his guardian was aware. I figured she would want sell it to us or not allow him to just give away. She did appreciate me bringing it to her attention and told me in front of the kid that be last expensive gift she ever buy him.
