Our kids already know that we are “the best parents ever” (although they are all under 13!). I taped a show I stopped at while clicking and we watched some show on “Biggest Bling Bashes” (or something). It was the most expensive “Sweet 16” parties - probably was MTV or something. Anyway, the cameras followed the kids (and sometimes the parents) on their preperations for the party.

Highest one was 1.3 million - but that included a $1 million dollar price for some rap guy to appear that was under contract by the kids dad, so I’m not sure that should have counted.

The one bratty girl in California was crying and carrying on at her birthday dinner with her parents because they didn’t buy her a new car like she wanted. (She was looking at a Range Rover). This was a week after coming back from Paris looking for dresses to wear to her party!)

Anyway, the Dad gave her the car ($75,000 customized Rover) on the day of her party - but on one condition - that she respect him and her Mom).

Anyway - I could go on and on. My kids thought it was stupid and foolish and could tell that the girl was a spoiled rotten brat.

We don't usually watch that stuff, but I happened to see that episode. What insanity! I just can't fathom these people. We've already started talking to our sons (12 and 14) about the implications of high-maintenance, materialistic girls in their lives. We would sure hate to end up with one of these spoiled little princesses as a daughter-in-law.
