My parents did it to me. They told me they would get me a car when I got a job, I didnt have to pay for the car I was getting but I had to have a job to get it. Do I want another car? Yes. Will my dad put up some cash for it? No. And trust me he is perfectly able to buy a nice car and parts and send me out to have fun. I completely understand why he doesnt do it though. If you hand your kids everything, without them having to at least do some decent amount of work for it, you end up with kids that know they can do just about whatever they want (without consequence) because mommy and daddy have money. I hope people dont see that way and if /when I have kids, if I raise my kids like that I think I will have failed as a parent. Ive seen first hand what happens to alot of these kids who just get what they want with no work and its not pretty.
