[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647243, member: 1550"] I grew up in an entitled town where parents had nannies and the kids had all highest level name brand clothes and toys and definitely new cars in high school, but it didn't take me long to bail out of there fast (didn't like the snobbery) and realize that they didn't live a "normal" existence. Many of those kids were paid to go to college just to get out of serving in Nam. Their parents didn't want their sons going to war. Or they paid them to run off to Canada. Today you don't have to be a very rich kid to be an entitled one. It blows the mind. by the way, my parents not only didn't spoil us, but we were all teased for the appearance to our peers of being from a "poor" family. My mom about threw me out at eighteen, and I didn't even do drugs, have sex, or break the law in any way. Didn't drink alcohol either. I was eighteen, sometimes I mouthed off, and she wanted me out...so I planned how to get out with a "D" average in high school, mental illness, and learning disabilities up the wazoo...I married a guy who was just like my father. If I hadn't found somebody to take me off their hands, I'm sure I would have learned about homelessness as my parents did not care if that happened and I knew it. The last words my mom said to me before I shakily walked down the aisle, knowing it was a bad match, was, "Now that you are getting married, no matter what happens, you can never come home." And when I got divorced she stood by that as did my father who was living with a uber-wealthy women in a mansion. Both of them did not think to offer even temporary aid and comfort...lol. Kids expect it these days. I did not ask and it was not offered. In fact, both said some version of, "Well, if you want to leave ex, don't expect anything from US!" [/QUOTE]
