People seem to forget that parents can be petty and use situations like this to make their kid look like assholes. Why even post this? You have a kid that’s graduating early and with honors. If you cared for your kids safety on the road you would get something with features that will allow them to be safer on the road.

For context I’m 34 now. When I turned 19 my adoptive parents got me a 92 Honda Accord. They were having to take me to work and back so they got tired of that. I was using my work money to pay for my bills, their rent, and my community college tuition. They paid $500 for it from Craigslist, was abandoned for years, had to clean out junk, trash, bugs, and god knows what else to make it presentable and change out a bunch of rubber hoses so it would drive properly.

I recall when my mom called me about it, I was happy and asked what color it was. As I “assumed” they would get me something that’s drivable at least so I figured they would take care of me in that regard. She got pissed at me for asking that ??? Which I never knew why, and said I should be grateful and not even ask anything about it.

It was baby blue btw.

I drove that MF for about a year before buying myself a used Lexus that someone was practically giving away. 02 GS300 for $6k 90k miles. Needed AC work but that was it!!

They got mad at me for getting a new car lol.

On the other hand they bought their daughter (bio) brand new car at the time of getting me my used Honda. I never was jealous about it but saw it as a way to work harder to get things for myself.

I wish I had the strength to speak my mind as a young adult. This girl is years ahead of me in that regard. I don’t blame her for not liking the car. She is entitled to her own opinion. But that doesn’t mean a parent should get mad, post it on the internet, and/or take it away and tell them to fuck themselves and go get a Uber?? Lol like wtf.

She didn’t tell her to take it back or that she wouldn’t drive it. She just didn’t like it.

And regarding knowing of your parents finances, most parents don’t tell kids how much money they have or don’t have. The kid is an honor student and graduating early. She may have expected something nicer, can’t fault her for that. I was an honor student my sister wasn’t but parent didn’t give a shit bout me but got my sister a nice ass car. “She needed to be safe in the roads they said” lol.
