Even as a kid, i have to admit it myself.
Other kids compared to me(Not trying to gain empathy or sound
pathetic here):
Kid: May you purchase a PS 2 for me?
Dad:Okay, when do you want to did it OR
You pay half of the price and i will pay the other half
If i would have asked
Me: Dad can i have a PS2
Dad: Go to hell
He would never get my any game consoles no matter how well i would
have scored for my exams not even a small meal rewarded to
me.
Kid: Daddy you blah blah this and that blah this blah that....I
hate you daddy
Dad: Sorry my sweet darling, i will try to make things better for
you.
If it was me
Me: Dad, you are blah blah this and that....
Dad: If you are not happy with things around here, you can always
get out of this house(This is true)
Kid: Dad, can i sign up for this -Something something something-
course
Dad: Sure darling, anything i would do to make you happy.
Me: Dad, can i sign up for this -.....- course
Dad: No its too expensive, no way
Experiencing the rigours of my dad's harsh discipline i have indeed
learn to cherish my things more and learn the value of money, when
my mother gives me abit too much i would give her back at least 20%
of the money back
