Snobby kids

Taken from a discussion on Maxxd forums the more I think about spoilt little kids at this time of year it irritates me.

I believe that all the real Christmas spirit has been ruined by mardy spoilt little kids. When I was younger I was lucky if I got a bike OR games console (back in the days of Master System & Mega Drives) not both! And certainly not PC’s, Laptops, endless games and consoles year in year out (xbox one year DS the next). I think kids these days are spoilt too much, and it’s the parents fault. Allowing their kids to act like little brats is quite frankly appalling!

I can understand that parents want the best for their kids and buying them nice presents will make them happy. But there is a limit between nice and over the top. I think kids should be grateful for what they are given, not annoyed at what they aren’t given. I would have never had the nerve to EXPECT loads of presents, and was always genuinely surprised when my parents brought me something fabulous, but to expect this year in year out is wrong. To allow your children to act like this is shocking, and it’s the parent’s responsibility to bring their kids up proper with manners and RESPCT.

What kind of adults are all these kids going to turn into? Nasty snidey snobby teenagers with attitude problems if they don’t get the right designer clothes (I see kids in town dressed in more expensive clothes than me), dripping in the latest technology. They don’t know the value of money which I think is terrible.

Mobile phones are another topic of annoyance for me… why the hell do parents buy their kids mobile phones at young ages, and insist on keeping them in credit??? I don’t want to hear no bull about it’s so the parents know where their kids are cause its bollocks. My mum and dad let me out without a mobile phone, the streets were just as dangerous when I was young as what they are now – it’s just that paedophiles are more publicised now. God forbid should a teenage run out of credit on said mobile phone… what the hell are they spending their pocket money on?! And surely the child is more at danger as they are more attractive to a mugger with an ipod and latest mobile phone hanging round their ungrateful little necks.

Having one big present a year never did me any harm, and quite frankly I enjoy working hard for my nice things, and I will appreciate things more because of the hard work that’s gone into achieving them.

These are of course all my own opinions, I know everyone won’t agree with me, although they will be the people that are getting their kids a laptop and an Xbox this year (and an Ipod off their gran)
