Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Sorry to go so off topic, but I have two questions about social rules and I'd appreciate as many responses as possible. #1 is it crazy to buy an ATV for a three year old? (my mother and her boyfriend bought an ATV for my daughter for her to ride there even though she never goes there, which I assume is what they're trying to change, but they didn't get her a helmet) #2 is it socially acceptable to purchase an ATV for any child/ minor (anyone under 18) without consulting their parents? (no, my wife and I were not consulted, even though we would have said yes, as long as she always wore her helmet) My wife and I were especially short on cash this year because we're both on SSI and my mother in law " just " died (back in March). So, we didn't have the option to spend as much this year on her as we would have liked to. On Christmas Eve, my mother goes behind my back and gives her this present worth more than the rest of her gifts combined. It just made me feel like crap. Am I wrong to be upset (well, more like annoyed or mildly irritated)? Thanks Steve M in PA, age 22 Married with 3 year old daughter " I know pain. You think you can handle it and one day you can't. And when that happens, you either find reason to go on, or you don't. " -House MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
