Monster children

A few months ago, my husband and I sat down to watch a TV show. It was something about extravagent 16th birthday parties for rich little brats. These girls were thrown parties that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They whined, they begged, they stole credit cards, they flew to paris to find the "perfect" dress, etc. They cried buckets when told that they would be recieving a 3 year old sports car instead of a brand new one.

It made me want to puke!

These girls were so spoiled and their parents looked on with blank eyes and stupified expressions mumbling something about how "good" their kids were. Did I judge them? Heck ya! Spoiled, spoiled brats!

My husband had a conversation with my oldest daughter today. She is having her 6th birthday party next week. The conversation went something like this, "Dad, you and mom had better have the laundry done before my party because I am NOT going to have clothes that don't match. My clothes HAVE to match and I HAVE to be the best dressed one there."

Our party is $60 instead of $600,000. Our child is turning 6, instead of 16, but anyone see a resemblance?

You are going to have your hands full with that one! :) She is 6 going on 30. Your stories about her always make me laugh. I cannot believe what a grownup she sounds like sometimes.

LOL--- Sounds like she is quite a character. And unfortunately sounds like what I have to look forward to from my 3yo :)
