I guess you don't know my views yet. Hint: I'm a conservative. Which means I believe that people should make as much as they possibly can honestly and legitimately with the abilities they have. I believe that they should be able to keep most of it without being punished for their success by the government through high taxation. You may have confused me with a liberal who believes the opposite. I thought my current sig quotes might have hinted to that.
My disapproval is based in one of the more important principles of parenting. That parents shouldn't spoil the hell out of their kids because it almost never leads to anything good. Parents can spend what they want but the kid will most likely end up like a Paris Hilton type. A total snob with no understanding of reality.
But maybe his son is the exception.

People should not care what another parent spends their money on as long as it is legitimate money. Every parents has his or her own way of raising a child; just because one way works for one situation doesn't mean it will work for every. Plus responsibility is more of a brain development issue since synapses responsible for comprehending consequences are still being connected up to 25 years of age (hints why insurance decreases substantially for males). Technically he is not really spoiling if you compare to the amount of income spent on his child vs the proportion of income spent from an average income parent, it is all relative.

As stated the kid also got a 10,000 check which is promply donated the full value of to the Haiti relief fund. So to question someone's full parenting skills based on the most extravagant piece of an article serves no purposes. Yes Diddy bought his kid a Maybach = shock value. The rest of the post was irrelavent and unncessary with regards to parenting.

What do you know about this kid other than a gift he received for his birthday to comment on parenting skills?
Here's the title of my next thread
KID RECEIVED $10,000 FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND DONATES ENTIRE AMOUNT TO HAITI.
Which thread do you think reflects more on how this kid was raised?

Well im sure you didnt buy the car just for him... Diddy might of bought the car a few years back. Maybe Diddy didnt drive it that much so he just gave it to him.... In any case. lucky kid.

P
I'm sure Sean Combs is a good father. This isn't about him. I'm just saying that when you shower a young kid with extravagant wealth before they've probably even had a job, they usually go down the wrong road. Usually they go on expecting their wealthy parents will provide them every desire they have.
This isn't specific to Diddly, I would say the same for Bill Gates.
Part of parenting is instilling the value of hard work to earn nice things.
Sorry you don't agree.
But maybe this kid is different as he did donate. That's a good sign.
Change the name of the person in the story to Buffett or Gates and would you have bothered posting it? Why do you care what Diddy buys to have his son chauffered around in?

1. I agree a maybach is a bit much for a 16 year old, even if his dad is filthy rich.
2. Since the Diddy's son's party was filmed for MTV, Diddy had to make this party and glitz and glam, getting his son the Maybach was cherry on top to show America he's got money, to let all the kids know what's up.
3. P Diddy will most likely use it for himself and share it with the family etc..etc..
4. If I had the money, I would get my kid something extravagant too, he'd have to earn it under my conditions and be at least 18 but if he very well deserved it, why not?
5. In the end, this was all a big PR stunt and it worked because it got you guys all riled up and talking about it.
