Woo! First On-Topic Post!
A mate of mine has a little brother. Sadly his father passed away, and he (the little brother) got something along the lines of £2,500. £1,000 was for him to spend. He now has roughly about £200 left of it, and nothing but broken toys and shitty PS2 games he doesn't like to show for it. When I was his age (I think he's around the 4yr old mark) I was lucky to have £1 to spend on anything, let alone a grand.

If that's not spoilt, I don't know what is.

As for come-uppance, as he's spoilt to buggery he won't be able to function on his own when he's older and he currently acts like he's 2 years younger than he is. Good luck with getting on in school, chum!

EDIT: Damn, not the first on-topic post after all...

EDIT 2: When going shop with same friend and brother, I went in for some ciggie papers. Being the generous bloke I bought my mate a can and the little bugger a small chocolate bar (Freddo, anyone?). I went to give it him saying "This is yours but I'm giving it to your brother, you can have it after your tea". His brother says "That's nice, what do you say?". Both of us expecting please to be the answer, he proudly and loudly says "Nothing!". "Fine, you're not having it says I". Majority of the walk back he's demanding HIS chocolate bar, even though we all stated it wasn't his as "kids with no manners don't deserve chocolate" so to silence him I gave it to my other friend who was instructed to eat it on the spot.


The little sprog was almost in tears and sat down in in the street refusing to move.

Kids; I won't put up with thier shit.

So his father has died
and a 4yr old kid is acting up a bit and frittering money away.

I think you'll find he would rather have a dad than £1000.

Unless this is meant to be one of those posts that isn't serious, in which case, you should make it more obvious.

Good point
but the kid doesn't even seem fazed by his loss. The point I was making is that he was allowed to blow money on crap rather than saving it. Personally, if I had a kid that age and he came into some money like that I wouldn't even tell him/her, I'd save it in a trust fund or something for when he/she is older and more likely to need it, especially with todays current crisis. And for the record, he acted exactly as he does now when his father was alive. No difference whatsoever.

But
if this kid isn't yet at school, as you seem to imply, that puts him at around about 3 or 4. How do you think 3 or 4 years olds normally act? They don't think about the future, they don't even think about going to toilet sometimes.

Maybe the surviving mother shouldn't have given him money to piss away, but that's not the kids fault. And I daresay she is trying to take the kids mind off the fact that he will never see his father again, which will be traumatic to a certain extent even if you can't see it. Doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, but I can understand it.

I'd agree, with the caveat that I have no idea about kids. Losing his father at age four has got to be traumatic, and maybe young kids sometimes react to that trauma by becoming little brats. It's not as if they're mature enough to know how to cope with it properly.

When my old man died,
I got some cash, which I frittered away. Up my nose and down my neck basically. I was 41,though.

So some kid's
dad has died, and becuase he got a little bit of money, that might seem like alot to say a 12 year old, you think he's spoilt.

Are you 12?
