Have you ever thrown up just a little bit in your mouth? I did today when I watched an episode of “My Super Sweet Sixteen” on MTV. They should rename this show “How Not to Raise a Child”.
It all started going south for me when the show intro started. It basically shows a bunch of spoiled little girls posing. All these girls have one thing in common. They all have their parents wrapped around their fingers. Usually it’s the dad.
In this action packed episode, the audience was treated with scenes from the $450 photo shoot for the photos that would later be plastered all over the walls at the party. I can only imagine how much the clothes for the party cost. The girl was disgusted at the thought of buying a $275 purse. Apparently that was too cheap and would scream out “White trash” to anyone that saw her carrying it. I was particularly disgusted by the pouting and little whining episodes when the party didn’t appear to be going in the right direction. This girl got surprised with celebrities at her party and the icing on the cake was the brand new BMW 7 series outside that her daddy bought for her. Total price for the party plus car: $300K.
I don’t care how much money you have. That’s just absurd. What are you teaching your child? This girl thought she was a celebrity and wanted to be treated that way. To say that this girl was happier than someone from a middle class family would be a mistake. She just found stress and sorrow in more expensive situations.
