To think these are SPOILT BRATS!

[Cozy9]

Someone has been retweeting kids (young adults really) whinging about what they have got (and not got) for Christmas! Hopefully some of these are parodies.

Yes. They are.

They need their new things bagging up and taking down to the charity shop.

A shock is what's needed there, I think. Who the hell do they think they are?

I can't get on that page.

Could you cut and paste some? Please. Oh please.

I read a few and then had to stop as they were all so awful, hopefully they're kidding though.

That is shocking

Here you go linerunner:

My dad got me an iPhone . Wtf I didn't want an iPhone -.-

and my mom went directly against me. she asked me if I wanted the black or white iPad. I said white, of course. tell me why mine is black..?

I want a black iPhone now ... This white iPhone is wackkk

I got everything I wanted expect a MacBook Pro . -.- eh, whatever .

Well I guess I didnt get my much wanted iphone. Fuck my damn life and every fucking thing it.

What the fuck kind of world do we live in? I wanted an iPad. Not a fucking kindle?

got a dam TV I dont even watch tv like really i wanted a fucking iPad . but yet Jennifer gets a new laptop.! wtf fuck that!

Only got an iPad 2 god mum I wanted a fuckin iPhone 5 fuck sake:///

Crikey.

Maybe they should put some of their awesome communicative talents to good use and run a bloody Swap Shop?

Or will their mums have to do that as well?

Coz like none of us ever spouted rubbish like that when were teens, no sirree. We all woz grateful for our bags of coal, we woz.

My dd is only 11 and I could tell she was a bit disappointed she didn't get any hexbug stuff (she only asked for some a few days ao and it was too late). But she's been so good, says she loves everything she did get and making a bit effort not to look crestfallen when she realised.

But gave it away by asking if she'll get any hexbug stuff for her birthday in a few weeks!

The secondary thing i am taking away from those tweets - after 'oh my god what ungrateful kids' is 'people who covet apple products are bastards!'

Oh many did, I am sure, ll. I agree with you.

And I am sure that they were seen by their elders exactly as we now are seeing this bunch of ungrateful buggers!

They are coming across as very spoilt and entitled. Imagine reading that as a parent? I would be gutted :-(

Golly makes me relieved that the onily negative I got was dd1 (7) being sad that the cat didn't get the hideously expensive climbing toy she asked for on it's behalf. Even DS (16) was totally calm about the electronic guitar tuner that doesn't bloody work.
Hope they are still that nice when they hit late teens/early twenties.

I covet Apple things, we can't afford them, so my coveting is done through drool covered windows at the Apple shop.

Should any of those darling children be able to remove capita from rectum for long enough, maybe they could post these unwanted items to me?

Ungrateful little shits!

Don't know why kids get techy stuff.
It's for adults. I don't even see the appeal of them, but if it's a toy for anyone, it's for people who've earnt the right to make their own choices and can choose how to handle the way they approach new things.
We don't know if it's really harmful to their developing minds- even if it's not, I don't see why they need them when they could be so happy with smaller things. Adults naturally get more blase and take things more for granted, and doesn't everyone which they could be like a kid and find the smallest things stimulating? Why start the detachment younger every year? Of course something that lights up and takes no concentration will be more appealing than a simple non-electronic toy- doesn't mean it's suitable if you want to raise a certain kind of kid- i.e. not spoilt. And kids with all the tech might not act bratty, but they will still take it for granted and their expectations for entertainment will be so high when they could enjoy soo many more things.

Grr.

*doesn't everyone wish

I blame the parents, if I'm honest! What a poor show for the future. Urgh

'Don't know why kids get techy stuff.'

Yes. Because all they should need is a stick, a ball and their imagination

I like your post quirrelquarrel. Techy stuff have been made for, and/or marketed towards, kids for a long time now though.

WTAF.
When I was their age I was happy with anything I got tbh. Certainly wouldn't have expected my parents to buy me big ticket electronics - those were strictly family presents.

It's clearly something to do with Apple. I knew there was a reason to avoid their overpriced crap, it clearly brainwashes young children

quirrell these are teenagers.

Pleased to say my teens were all suitably delighted with their gifts, and thanked us profusely. The neighbour who popped in with a box of wine gums for them was equally thanked and hugged for his gift. Just sometimes, I allow myself to think I raised those kids OK.....

Mine know that they can ask for techie stuff up to a price limit, and then they need to get a job and fund it themselves.
I agree that greedy and selfish teenagers have been around for several thousand years, the difference is that most parents didn't feel guilty about it. They seem to now, and to worry about their child not having what everyone else claims to have.
