Life So a question about neighborhood kid/son etiquette... - Page 5

teedubya · 06-05-2009, 10:24 AM

So my son's friend, a neighborhood kid were playing catch last night... and his dad asked both of them if they wanted to go to the batting cages last night.

They were excited to go... my son came home and got his batting gloves... They went out to Paradise Park... and only his son got to hit.

I'm thinking this is shitty.

So, I'm wondering if I should invite him along for a trip to Sheridans Ice Cream, but only get my son some Ice Cream.

Isn't that about the same thing?

Take his kid to the batting cages and leave him there. One up the next guy whenever possible.

Ari you should have gave your kid some cash man.

This.

Yeah, it was pretty dickish move on the part of that father, but showing him your the better father/man is probably the sweetest revenge right next to pimping his wife.

**** it, just go pimp his wife out. The meth lab guys might be feeling lonely. Then u can use that money and take ur son to the cages all day!

Sounds like that Dad's either an asshole, or is just a plain ol asshole. Did he really expect that the kid wanted to go just to watch? Christ pay a ****in dollar or 2 or 3 and let the kid hit.

You should invite that kid over for dinner and then not serve him shit.

Why punish the kid? It's not his fault his dad is a dick. It's the dad who needs to get his.

Do you have any gay friends?

Do you know of any local gloryholes?

Do you have a camera?

I think that is pretty messed up.

Sorry i didn't see this Ari.

That is really cool of you.

It is pretty messed up that the other dad did that. He had to have known that your son wanted to hit also. Why would somebody do that? I agree that you should always send some cash with your kids like others have said, but still. Are these people fairly poor or something? That is the only thing I can think of is that he only had enough to spend for his kid and depended on you providing cash. Even then, most people would still split what they had up in that situation. Sorry to hear it. I wouldn't really go out of my way to show that I "am a better man" either. It also won't do anyone any good to mention it in my opinion. Just take note of it for future consideration.

Next time his kid's hanging around at dinner time, I'd make a point to tell him to go home instead of serving up a free plate of food, too.

Nah, don't punish the kid for the dad's douchebaggery.

Just go punch the other dad. Problem solved.

How is it punishment sending a kid home to his own house at dinner time?

Depends on how good his mom's cooking is.

Yeah, sending a kid home to my mother-in-law's cooking would be cruel.
