well, well, well........how can I win back the kids love daddy bought our eldest a car when she got her licence. Not bad for a man on only $500 a week. It was meant to be handed down to daughter number 2 when she got hers and then to our son when he go this. His words, not mine. It didn't belong to one child, it belonged to all of them. Payed 10 grand for a virtually new Getz. Nice car.
So tonight he rings Maree and tells her that he's going to sell the car coz he needs a bigger boat.
Very interesting listening to the girls discuss this as I cooked dinner tonight. My question of a few days ago asking will they notice? Yep....they notice and they are, as the queen would say, not amused.
I never said ONE WORD!!!! Not one. Was so proud of myself for just listening. Busting a gut to say I told you so, but I didn't.
He'll sell it to her of course for 10 grand......which apparently is a bargain coz if he sells it elsewhere it's going to be going for 12 grand!! Who knew cars went up in value?
My next question. How does one go from being a parent to a self centred arsp?
