    Angry Rich Kids - Venting!

    I had to spend the weekend at a Southeast Texas Resort with my husband this weekend for one of his manager's meeting and it was nuts! A family had rented the hotel's largest ballroom for the daughter's sweet sixteen and these kids were just the snottiest I have ever met. I don't know how much the party itself cost but I know the band was flown in to play for one hour for $100,000. I guess I just can't rationalize the need for that kind of $$$$$ to be spent, especially on a girl who had absolutely no gratitude for it and in fact spent the whole time yelling and cursing at her parents. Just a rant....

    It is so ridiculous, I watched that show on MTV once, that My Super Sweet Sixteen show. It was horrible how those rich snobby girls acted, all for one stupid day of their life!

    I'm sorry you had to go through that!

    Ugh! Don't get me started....in our NYC neighborhood there are a ton of trust fund babies that have moved in.....it's sickening. Some are in their 30's, never worked a day in their life. All they do is go to bars 7 nights a week and skateboard around the neighborhood. While living in $2,500 a month apts. all paid for by mommy and daddy.....

    UGH, that sweet sixteen show on MTV gets on my last nerves!!

    I see nothing wrong with parents spending money on a birthday party, what's wrong is that these fucking brats have the shitiest attitudes and think they deserve the party, having their ass kissed by everyone like if they're the most superior person on planet Earth, DISRESPECTING THEIR PARENTS BUT MUST HAVE THE PARTY EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SHITTY GRADES. If that were my child, there would be some old school ass whipping in full affect. Smack in the mouth, belt & slippers on.... that ought to teach to your ass who to speak to like that!!

    The trouble with this today is the brat, upon reaching 18, will get a lawyer and sue you! Sometimes, from some of the news items I've read, a brat will not even wait until reaching age 18 to sue mom and dad.

    There are definitely some spoiled kids out there. I hate that MTV show too.

    The more I think about it these days - it seems that MTV is a bad influence on kids. I must be getting old or something - but there seems to be a lot of little dumb asses who think "the thugs life" is glamourous and other nonsense. When they are not learning about being thugs, they are learning to be prima-donna's.

    I remember one show about Cribs or something that - and it had the fool yanking down people's pants, breaking glasses, and generally being a nuisance to the people in the house.

    In short, the channel is showing that disrespect and being "in your face" are proper forms of behavior. It is more about how to be uncivilized and the uncivilized will soon have no civilization.

    The game shows are just sad and pathetic.

    I watch some of the shows and I can't figure out if the producers are trying to create a comedy or if they are serious about the topic.

    Sorry...don't blame the kids...blame the parents for being too much of a "friend" and not enough of a parent. Parents these days seem to try to be their kids' best friend. I have a 3 year old, and I love playing with her and all...but if she steps out of line, I put her back IN line immediately. There are certain rules that she needs to live by and if she doesn't follow those rules then she receives the consequences of that.

    I agree VenusGoddess! A lot of the blame should go to the parents! If my kid, at any age, ever decides to be that big of a brat with me, he's gonna have hell to pay!

    If all you had known your whole life is having your every whim indulged though, would you be any different? I know myself well enough to know that if I had grown up rich, I would've been the most obnoxious ungrateful selfish little bastard you've ever seen. And that today I would be the most obnoxious ungrateful selfish grown-up bastard you've ever seen.

    Don't even get me started... too late!!! I once house-sat for a doctor who had some patents on surgical techniques for $100 a night. He had a 17-year old son who was absolutely worthless and couldn't be trusted to mind the house because he's forget to turn on the security system and take the dogs' collars off b/c he felt sorry for them and forget to lock the doors. This kid got a Mercedes for his 16th birthday, gets speeding and parking tickets left and right but never learns b/c mommy and daddy pay them off, and has never worked a day in his life because he gets an allowance that could be the budget of a small third world country. I caught the little shit smoking pot with his friends. When I went into his bathroom, I found rolling papers and other stuff that he doesn't even bother to try to hide! I told his parents because he was underage and in case something happened, I didn't want to have any link or suspicions of responsibility of corrupting a minor. It turns out that his parents know about everything and when he goes off to college, they're buying him a house probably so he won't get caught doing drugs.
    Once he leaves the safe nest of mommy and daddy's house, he's going to do something stupid like get stoned in the parking lot of a police station (my friend's little brother did this). His mommy and daddy will probably get him off by hiring a good laywer and sending him off to rehab.

    You know what comes to mind? Paris Hilton, who once asked, "What's a soup kitchen?" Man oh man, if I was his mom, I'd make him go abroad and do charity work in a third world country. Another problem is that parents either don't punish their kids, or forget that their kids are grounded which gives the kids the message that parents have no power. If you tell your kids to go to their room, then they'll just entertain themselves. I'd make them stay in a guest room and strip search them beforehand.

    Just a couple of days ago I was yelling at one of my friends who is self-admittedly not able to discipline her toddlers...I said, "My parents whipped me when I was little and I got over it!" Yep, you can't be pal-sies with your kids all the time.
    This'll make you laugh though- I made friends with a fine fine young guy who grew up on the ghetto side of Sacramento. He said his weekend hobby was waiting around at the In-N-Out parking lot to beat up rich kids that showed up. Seeing as I grew up in the same area, I was rolling with laughter.

    Amen.

    Forget about being their friends--that's for when they're 25 and out on their own. Beat your kids early and often, and you won't have to visit them in jail or in the morgue.

    Its weird how often I allign my views with yours. This and other posts, I've felt no need to add my insight cause you cover it so well.

    To each parent their own. Raise your kids. Don't relive your youth. Be a parent, not a friend. Raise them the best way you know how, and most importantly, Do NOT be afraid to punish.

    I haven't been exposed to many rich kids of the type you describe (sweet sixteens and debutante balls...I don't think they happen up here), but I think the 'rich kid' attitude is deplorable.

    And I fully agree that it's the parents who are to blame.

    i can't believe this nonsense. yes, the little shits are a problem, but beating children is never the solution. i think we should just shoot them all (the rich parents) and give their money to animal shelters.... and throw the kids into dead end mickyD's jobs and have them work for a living. some of them are young enough to be rehabilitated. but beating children? people, that's sick. beating children only teaches them that spitting on and abusing people who are smaller than them is ok if they piss them off. and when you're rich, that translates to the whole damn world- which is part of the problem. you don't teach respect through violence. you enforce tyranny through violence, which at best inspires rebellion, and at worst, breeds sociopaths. and the world is chock full of those already.

    I don't think anyone here meant beating as a form of child abuse. I think everyone just used it as a form of physical chastising. I don't know if I agree or not, but I agree that parents should be allowed to raise their kids as they see fit provided extremes are not broken. But who am I.

    The great Megatron once proclaimed that Peace is best brought through Tyranny. Maybe that's why he was a bad guy.

    Yeah, I don't think kids need beatdowns. BUT you have to keep them in line. Some are more rowdy than others.

    Back to rich kids: it's the entitlement. There are spoiled adults too. & Some of us get spoiled by too much freedom. The key to not looking foolish is getting your bearings in the situation.

    After dating a few trust fund babies, I don't have a whole lot of patience for their bullshit.

    Give me a guy who was raised blue collar - whether he has money now or not - and I know he at least knows something about humility.

    i definately agree that children should be disciplined. i just think that doing so by physically assaulting them is never productive, and far too often, horribly destructive- even when the physical wounds are light. there are plenty of other things you can do to discipline children.

    and yes, entitlement is the problem. contrary to popular belief, compassion and empathy are not innate human characteristics. they are learned. infants don't care if they wake everyone up by screaming. toddlers gleefully smash toads on the sidewalk. it takes older children a great deal of associating the unpleasantness of consquences with other people's pain to understand that it is not indeed a good or even a neutral thing for other people to be hurt. parents who refuse to raise their children are a menace to society, just as their children become.

    Hardly. Corporal punishment is effective because children are not yet rational beings--they need to be shown in a very immediate and unmistakable manner where boundaries are, not just for their own safety, but as VG said, to recognize early on (in a very Pavlovian fashion) that there are consequences for our actions in this life. Learning that simple yet crucial lesson with the back of VG's hand will be much more gentle on Makayla than learning it from the criminal justice system.

    and yes, entitlement is the problem. contrary to popular belief, compassion and empathy are not innate human characteristics. they are learned. infants don't care if they wake everyone up by screaming. toddlers gleefully smash toads on the sidewalk.
    Exactly--those are learned responses, as are assessments of what is and is not acceptable behavior more broadly. Children at a young age simply don't have the cognitive reasoning capability to learn those characteristics. They just don't. All that post-modernist bullshit about children teaching adults everything they need to know about being parents is just that--bullshit.
