Did I miss something?

This morning I woke up, turned the coffee maker on, booted the laptop and checked FB as per usual. What I saw shocked me. I see my 17 year old posted a picture of her new car. I say new because she previously owned a Nissan truck in a gorgeous silver. Tricked out. Now she ALSO owns a 2010 Camero my uncle bought for her. This is the same uncle who is always singing poverty, tight fisted with his cash, so tight that he drives a truck nearly as old as me. I'm 24, j2s.

So here I am, 24, fighting day to day to make it. Feeling a little sad because I move and suddenly when I need them the most, my family forgets my birthday. Apparently she gets a Camero, a MAC, and a wave runner. I could see if she was the sort of kid who helped out around the house, was generous to her family... had a job? No. She's 17, gets what she wants, is currently grounded because she was being irresponsible with her current car and she bad mouths her parents. I wish just once my aunt would read her Facebook and see what a total bitch she is. I'm so green with envy I feel like being a tattler. SIGH

The moral of this story is, find a decent balance while parenting. Love your kids but don't spoil them into thinking that they deserve to get everything handed to them.
