Having children should require a fucking state licence.
You cant drive a car without one, you cant practice medicine without one, fuck me you cant even sell rat'n'pigeon kebabs to piss heads without one. But children, our future, the next generation of our society! Any fuck tard with working testicles or a hospitable womb can make one. That my friends is simply not right...

Anywho.

My Aunt, lovely lady. My cousin, less so (partly because he is male and partly because he isn't so lovely). Now she is a single mother, has been since he was born pretty much and has fuck all money, yet she has given him everything. I don't argue with this as I was born into a similar situation and I never really wanted for anything. I understood from quite and early age that we were poor and adjusted my wants accordingly. Somehow this is lost on my cousin now mid-teens.

He was and still is very intelligent, accordingly my aunt wanted him to learn a musical instrument (My mother wanted this for me too but I fought against it, why didnt she force me!!!). After a few years farting around with various instruments he settled on guitars and is now a very fine guitarist with a bedroom that would make Metallica cream their collective pant. He has everything, a bunch of sweet guitars, a couple of flash basses, a drum kit, amps of all shapes and sizes. Yet he acts like his mother is Pol Pot and she bickers with him like they are siblings. When he cant get the latest musical implement or whatnot he goes off on one about how my aunt is a lazy cow without a good job. Hopefully karma will bit him on the arse when he becomes a poor crack addict musician.

It all stems from his mother treating him like an equal from a very young age. Consulting him with decisions etc. Children are not equals! That would be one of the first points on the parent tests.

erm.
you dont need a licence, but if you neglect your child you can be prosecuted and your child/ren taken away.

Actually
I don't see how anyone can even attempt to treat
a child as an equal. They don't work, don't get consulted on the bills/household finances. The most serious decision that children should be involved in is probably what colour they want their room painted.

This answer
has made me realise that I don't hate people who are spoilt, just people who are stupid and spoilt at the same time. I don't hate your cousin because you said he was intelligent and is a decent guitarist. At least he's somewhat worth being spoilt?
