[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 653782, member: 18238"] This sounds SOOO familiar. He would always throw J-1 (Lost track of which of the J's is which but this is the one who had been his friend since early elementary school.) and his family in our face. We would respond with "we don't care what HIS parents do, we aren't them and you aren't their child". He eventually distanced himself (or was distanced from?) J-1 and started hanging out with worse and worse kids. Ironically, this kid grew up to be hard working and dependable. He is getting married this month. His parents gave him what we considered to be an insane amount of allowance but I think (not sure) that he helped out with their cleaning business to earn it while ours constantly complained about the tiny amount of work he had to do each day to get his allowance. Yeah, here's to you Dr. Spock! :grrr::highvoltage::highvoltage: [/QUOTE]
