Entitlement.....

Guess who just got taken off my insurance policy a day after I added him on? Someone is not getting their license this week. Shame cause he has enough money in his bank to pay for 3 years worth of insurance.

It is a shame, he is a great kid (my best friend), does great in school, and we never have arguments until last night and I lost it. I am honestly disgusted by the whole thing and more disgusted to find out that his claims of his friends getting cars paid for and insurance, gas paid for are all true.

Dad just threw down $7,000 for 4 wisdom teeth getting cut out and some braces to give you a great smile later on in life. Insurance and gas.....not a chance. Bad thing is that I even said I would pay for the insurance until summer came and he started working, but the rest of the year was on him.

Obviously he hasn't used the "but dad, I'm just trying to get laid" angle.

My parents paid for everything and didn't want me to work because they wanted me to enjoy my youth. Very nice and sweet of them. That being said I will be doing things differently with my son. I will give him a car but he is responsible for gas, insurance and most of his entertainment.

oh yeah I was....still am completely spoiled. just being honest

My son may only be two weeks old but his first car is sitting in the garage and I'll happily give him that car. Insurance and gas? hell no, poor kid is gonna be raised the same way I was, which was, If you can't afford it you don't really need it.

When I was in High School, as long as I made good grades my dad paid for my insurance. The same for college. But as soon as I was done, it was my problem.

Seemed fair to me. I paid for gas and minor maintenance, and as long as I had good grades the insurance was on him.

But I'm all with you. If possible, my kid will pay for all he/she can. Its good preparation for the real world.

If it's the car I think it is, your son is lucky.

i dont understand insurance. i dont have my own car so i told my parents that i dont need insurance. we have 3 cars, none of them are in my name. they insisted that i did because i drive to work all the time. as far as i know, my name is on their insurance and they pay for it. i told them when i buy MY OWN car, ill pay for MY OWN insurance and take me off their insurance because it doesnt make sense to pay for that.

Congrats Z, and if I neglected to mention it, to you as well Sultan.

As to the car thing.......ugh.

My situation is considerably different than my parents.

I paid for my car, my gas, we split the insurance bump 50/50. It was the best they could do and I was thankful.

My wife and I could easily afford to buy our daughter and son a car, or more likely, hand me down our cars and maybe upgrade for ourselves :).

But I'm not sure if this is a good "teaching moment". Probably.

But I'd also like to provide what my parents could not.

Dunno.

I still have 12-14 years to think about it.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
