Whats with popular jocks

Did she get you with the strap on too?? =-X LoL

:frowning: :frowning: yeh, i also found a condom up there :frowning: :frowning: :confused:, haha :grin: :grin:

I don't snort cocaine. I just like the
way it smells, that's all.

I want to put an end to this. I was not even going to replay, to any of SteveA’s bullshit,But decided I had better get something off my chest.First and foremost, thank you Eddie, for coming to my defense. I can’t tell you how much it meant... To the rest of you who were bagging on me about the way I raise our family, all, I have to say to you is…..you have a lot to learn about being a parent….Yes I can understand how you would think giving a 16 year old a brand new Lexus, can be considered excessive in some circles. In Mine, It’s not. We do have a lot of nice things. I have worked very hard for what we have. We have had some business adventures paid off and sadly there have been two deaths in my family over the past few years where we inherited some money that we were left. We just invested it... Yes, my daughter drives a very expensive car. We both know and are personal friends with the owner of one of the Lexus dealership here. The dealerships are given several various new cars for their sales associates to drive for awhile so they can become familiar on how they drive , handle Etc. We were able to purchase her new car for him for $31,700.00. It has just under18, 000 miles on it but it is in mint condition. So yes, she drives a $70,000.00 and it’s new to her but I doubt I seriously took anything over the limit when we purchased it for her.As for their education??? They are both very smart kids. They are both smarter than I had ever hoped to be. They're both pulling straight “A’s”. I want them to try to get a scholarship for school just like I had to. I don’t think there is anything wrong with them trying to get into a school on an academic scholarship rather than just expecting me to pay for it... I would never deprive them of further pursuing their education. If it came down to it, I would pay for it. But my parents didn’t pay for mine. If they could have, I’m sure they would have done it. But I was raised in a lower middle income family I did it on my own. It took me 12 years to pay back my student loans. But it made me a better person for it.Yes…. I like to provide nice things for the kids. Yes….I would like them to have the things I didn’t have when I was growing up... But they are good kids. Mature kids. They are definitely not spoiled kids. They have work hard for their things. They have their own set of responsibilities around this house and their chores that need to be take care of first, before they get to play. I make my daughter give me 1/3 of her paycheck to put into her savings, and then I take some more of her money to pay for her insurance and maintenance on her car. I am hoping this teaches them money management, money planning and personal respect for their nice things. If they screw up, it gets taken away. I’m sorry if you think or believe I’m raising my children in an excessive lifestyle. That is so far from the truth. We are a close family. We cook dinner together every night. Someone has to make the entrée. Someone has to make the salad and someone has to make the side dishes. To be fair, we all pull straws for dishes. We eat dinner every night, together at the dinner table and usually go out to dinner at least once a week. The kids’ homework has to be completed and I look it over before they can go play with friends, Play pool or watch TV. I run a tight ship in this house and hope that they are learning and that they are growing up to be respectable citizens in this community. I don’t think giving her a nice car, because we want her to be safe when she drives to the university or school or just going to work is being “Over the limit” Steve…..I do not have to look to you on how to raise my children. We have been doing a great job of it since their Mother “Checked out” of their lives. So I would appreciate it, if you would cut the bullshit crap about what a bad job I’m doing. You are not here to see what they have accomplished in their lives. I will not discuss it any further. It all started because White lines was bragging about how he could live off his folks and was bragging about it. I was just telling him in my posting that I was not ever remotely jealous of his lifestyle and opportunities… I have my own lifestyle. I have my own way of raising my kids and I am not jealous or envy anyone. If I blow it…..If I fuck up and they can’t exist in this world…......Then I’ll have to deal with it for the rest of my life. It’s my job as a parent to provide the best I can for them and to get them ready to go out into the world on their own. If I am able to provide them with things to help them achieve their goals, then I have not done a good job. Nothing you think or say matters especially when it comes to raising my family, living and loving my partner and our lifestyle.This topic is close!

can be considered excessive in some circles. In Mine, It’s not.You are American royalty, financially.> It all started because White lines was bragging about how he could live off his folks and was bragging about it. I was just telling him in my posting that I was not ever remotely jealous of his lifestyle and opportunities… I have my own lifestyle.He practically got you to post your 1040. You w-a-y overreacted. He played you and he won.Bragging about one's wealth is a bit unseemly whether white_lines does it or whether you do it.

"You are American royalty, financially".Nope, but I wish I was....We live in an upper middle class community and there are a lot more that more money then we do."He practically got you to post your 1040. You w-a-y overreacted. He played you and he won"Well.... I guess so! Lucky for him!As for my 1040... It usually takes my CPA about two weeks to prepare. I was just blurting out some basic figures for the things we own just to shut him up but instead wound you up.

I was just blurting out some basic figures for the things we own just to shut him upYeah, you really showed him. He's probably sulking somewhere.

"They are both very smart kids. They are both smarter than I had ever hoped to be. They're both pulling straight “A’s”. "Maybe too smart...

i bet we can expect your kids on the next Super Sweet 16 show yelling at your wife about a dress.

What do you mean, "maybe too smart"???

Smart enough to land a nice car.

Hon, i think you are raising your kids in a fantastic enviroment. You seem to parent the same way as i do, and you sound like you're a really tight knit family, and whether you have money or not is not important when you have that.I really admire you hon, you sound like a great father..............I still wanna come and live in one of your cupboards tho big hugs

Thanks Angel Baby!
I guess I learned a valuable lesson here. Never post the truth.

We are a tightly knit family and have a lot of fun together... I guess there is always going to be someone out there who is going to criticize the way we do something because we have a little bit of money. There are a lot more people out there with a hell of a lot more money than we have. We still have to plan and budget for things and some months are tight. It's not like we have a main tap into Fort Knox......

Oh and when you and the hubby come here, you will have your own room, unless you want to snuggle in between to fuzzy bears.

Grrrrr!

Babe just ignore those who even want to try and judge how you are raising your children. Sounds like you're doing a fantastic job! Sad those without children try and tell you how to raise them. Just another good reason to ignore them. hugs

I'm not judging the way you raise your children, so chill out on that. I'm just saying that a $70,000 car (as you originally claimed) for a newly-minted 16-year-old driver is a rather large excess.And I think your response to white_lines was not appropriate. Even I can let some things lie. Sometime things are not worth being insecure about.

Sometime things are not worth being insecure about. I'm not Roc and I even find that statement offensive. I don't think Roc is insecure period. Ever thought he was trying to put a little snoody brat in his place? White_Lines had the nerve to say he was jealous and he was letting him know there's nothing to be jealous about when he's happily content with what he has.

When you compair what we did as far as the type of car we gave her to those kids of Brentwood , Beverly Hills and Monticito California......" I'm just saying that a $70,000 car (as you originally claimed) for a newly-minted 16-year-old driver is a rather large excess." Okay....The point has been taken.... Lets Drop it !!

When you compair what we did...Well, if that's what you aspire to...

Hey, who said i was bringing hubby???????? I WANT to snuggle between two fuzzy bears.............big hugs
