Some kids are SO LUCKY!

I opened up my computer to check my email. If you don’t know by now, I’m not very good with computers. It’s a wonder I can even get this blog to post. Anyways, I digress. On the front of Yahoo homepage is an article that says that a 16 year old kid received at $360,000 car for his birthday? WHA..??? That is just ridiculous. And who is this “Diddy”? A rapper apparently, my kids tell me, Puff Daddy. The name reminds me of a puffy white marshmallow. It’s a funny image, but at least, it’s a positive one, and not a negative image that I see when I hear “puff daddy” or “diddy” or whatever his name is.

This kid probably will not have to work for the rest of his life due to his father’s fame and fortune. Will he really appreciate money when everything is handed to him? Receiving a $360K car probably doesn’t help that either. Please friends, please don’t spoil your children. And if you really must spoil your children, make sure they know everyday how lucky they are to have you as their parents, and how lucky they are to have everything that they have. Maybe ship them off to build some villages in Peru for 3 months or something…
