what kind of achievement by kids constitute a ipong 17 anyway?

actually someone i know who is divorced with a kid said she will buy iphone for her kid bcsuse
her kid.told the father that she wanted an iphone but the father said he will buy a china iphone. then this mother said “wtf i will never ever let my child suffer like that. i will buu her an iphone”

i felt like she was just trying to get back at her ex husband by providing something the ex husband could not afford or was not willing to.provide.

to me it.was poor parenting.decision but i didnt want to tell her before i got a general concensus with my fellow ktards. becsuse when i grew up i had never had antthing just fall on my lap by asking my parents so i wanna know is it normal for me to feel so. thank you brothers of k. i shall now seek the opninion ofsexysarah

Training your kids by buying iPhone 17 when they achieve all A is stupid. End up they will grow up learning they need to buy the latest and costliest to show off and feed their ego.

It's fine to buy with own money. My problem is expect to spend other people money to procure the latest flex piece.

oh yes
true

i think thats the best thing to advise a child

not to totally reject their wishes

but teeach them in order to get something theybneed to work for it

not just ask then get wirhout any reason

even if she feels because she divorced,so child doesnt have a happy life like other children and she feels guilty , buying an iphone doesnt improve the situstion.... its like giving marijuana to someone who needs antibiotics... the person mihjt feel better but it worsens the situstion

u rich u want to buy, u buy lo. u have doubt, then dun buy lo.
Usually parent give kid their old phone, buy new iphone.

Rich u buy then buy lo will not help a kid in long run

If someone gets everything they want easily without needing to fight for it just because parents can afford

Guess if next time he encounter hardship what will happen

To me a kid need a phone yes

But does he need an iPhone? If the parent has an old phone and it happens to be iPhone then ok. But if not then the kid gotta learn sometimes in life u don’t get what u want . Even the stpm 4a kid learnt even fighting hard for something doesn’t guarantee him a seat . And He not even asking to enter NUS or Harvard ….

yes if u tell them then they will act offended and say u r the pervert

funny how female mentality works


but basically it is victim mindset, or transferring the responsibility to you. u watch, it is u who is pervert.. she show is ok.but if u ask anyone, a guy dressed in g string with half his balls hanging out, everyone will say his problem, and even got people whack such a guy before. double standards.

anyway, smart guys like us just gosok without kecam unlike puas.

Things always change.

New generations always live better.

Can't compare or else you'll end up hating new generations more not realizing you actually live better than your grandparents.

Compared to the bommer's parents they are worse than us. Dying in starvation. No rice no meat. Only tree bark to eat. World war. Disease. Physical torture. No parents since birth.

When they see us still got chance to go to school study. Got parents take care when we're kids. Got rice to eat. Play guli during free time. Eat meat. They also geleng kelapa saying kids nowadays (us) are so blessed and don't know what hard life really tastes like.

there has to be some moderation ma

like last time 12 year old no phone. during my time i 15 year old only got a dumbphone, nokia 3200 hand me down from my bro who got a 6630. i didnt even ask for a phone....

now got smartphone considered ok la, then wanna ask for iphone

even many working adults dont use old iphone let alone a new one.

like, a kid should be fed till full but not fed with abalone . that is reserved for 2feidei customers.

even adults can settle with those thingss, but for adults they already earn mani so it's their hard work they wanna buy go buy la. if for kids, they just ask then get, machem no point la, u show off ur parents hard work ... even jackee chan facepalm liao tats why he hate his son gaycee he considrr as charsiew

they will carry the same mindset when they become adult soon

low self esteem

then need to have so called same standard with others

die die need to otang 9 years for Onda, Toyoda, which they cant even afford in the first place

then open tered like some fella here lulz

need virtual validation from strangers that dont even give a flying f also

i raealize since young i never needed all this stuff to validate myself
now i still cant imagine i actually never asked for a phone and at 15 i got a handmedown from my bro who already used 3310 and 3200, then he moved on to 6630 then only i got the 3200.

the level of maturity was godlike.... hnnghhh or maybe i was just too interested in fapping ...

and youre right, that mindset carried on till i was adult, i never felt the need to impress others with a car

Bullshit . When u see your friend playing Starcraft , you wanted a PC and internet connection as well . When you see your friend playing Final Fantasy , you also wanted a Playstation

You see your friend have Tamagotchi or Digimon , you wanted one as well .

There is always a "want" , always wanted to join your peers .

Big.no, it's  alright from time to time give the kids a treat. But there must be a limit.

Ask your kid why does.he need latest iPhone for? To play games? A budget or mid range smart phone will do. To show off? Time to give them a lecture on how.lucky they are & that plenty of less fortunate people can't even feed their family because can't find jobs.

If you give them all the latest high end toys/gadgets without them even making a effort. You are.not.only spoiling them but ruining their adult life.

How are they going survice on a entry level job with average pay when they are so used to the high life?

Just last week got a ktard post in serious kopitiam where 22 year old girl earn 10k working for syndicate. Then try to find legit.job not happy with the salary cause can't meet her monthly commitments. Sure after a while she go back work for the syndicate because addicted to highend lifestyle.

Teach your kid to be grateful & live a moderate lifestyle.even when make it big. Otherwise will become like jamban, never safe money. Spend like there's no tomorrow, now can't even pay Teresa her dues & hide from bailiff plus is a nobody now. Somemore got young kid.
*
lol i like how at the end the post become about jamban..

yeah.. totally agree about not spoiling the kid.
glad to see im not the only one thinking so

i duno la, why she thinks that way. i told her , she must not spoil her kid yada yada.
then she told me, she cannot let her kid suffer.... chi kui. u know mandarin? it means rugi.

im like, wtf the kid rugi, just because she didnt get iphone she considered rugi? like that so many other kids also rugi ah? i said last time even when i wanted football shoes also mom didnt buy adidas one for me, bcoz she said normal brand is enough . which i agree.... then she said, times have changed. now many kids got iphone, no iphone then the kid will feel left out. i duno what to say anymore.

u r right, what does a kid need iphone 17 for? i rmbr last time to get video games console also we needed to make sure our grades were good. if grades no good, terus locked up liao the games. this kid doesnt even get good grades.
if u tell me she is good student etc yada yada then of course no problem, u earned it, but if u r doing ntg great then the iphone 17 is just going to be an added distraction

Ah, the good old.days where we either study hard or help out with the chores & during birthday get game console considered a big thing. Now kids want i phone pulak,yeesh

I guarantee u bro when the girl reaches late teens the mother that time will no longer say poor daughter suffer but will be cursing her for being charsiew.

My old neighbourhood divorcee the eldest daughter after finish school never further studies or get a job. Whole.day main muzik watch movies & hanging out with the other dropouts. Mother scream at her to get a job & even father also tell her to.

Problem is she is spoiled she wear expensive shoes cost rm1000. Mid 90's entry pay is 1200 i think. At home got maid so where she can tahan 9-5job or get married become housewife. She got horrible attitude also.

hahah this one better ensure she very pretty n good in bed else gg she is useless herself and cant get a man to support her
