So, another year of Back to School bullshit is upon us. This thread is for any steals, deals and bullshit you need to bitch about.
I have a 16yr that’s going into his Junior year. He worked his ass off this summer with the oil well service outfit. Little shits sitting on a small fortune for a kid. He’s a miser and won’t buy shit. So, 5 pairs of Ariat Jeans, $650 pair of Tecova boots, $175 Nike Vapor football cleats and we’re just getting started I think. I am balking on the $200 Sitka backpack he wants, he can buy that shit. Any of you sick of the Back to School season and just wish they’d get their ass back to school?
Wish school was year round with exceptions for fishing and hunting days, fuck… [Reply]
If you want to be shocked check out custom-made western hats. Quality western wear in general is costly. Join a country band and you will go broke looking the part lol.
Ughhh....just got back from buying my kid a new Porsche. I mean, he had a BMW last year, but new school year means new car of course. Can't have my kid showing up to school driving the same shit he drove last year. That's for the poors, lol.
Freakin' back to school shopping man, got me bent over a barrel. [Reply]
Kids don't understand the value of things. There are students at school who get a new pair of $200 shoes every month. It's insane what some parents will do to avoid having their kid be "mad" at them.
Shit my parents bought me 1 pair of name brand shoes. Reebok Pumps in 1991 and it was my main Christmas present that year. [Reply]

Yeah, it’s so he looks nice for sure. He has a couple pair of Ariat Steel Toes for work. He’s a hard working kid, probably doing a job most can’t. I figured I’d splurge on his boots to reward him for the growth he has shown in the past half year or so. :-) [Reply]

Probably not, but he’s 5’11” a solid 190-195 been working wells for the last 3 months. Only thing he’s complained about is how fast his summer was over because he worked everyday. Now we’re on to football practice and academics. [Reply]

That’s not rewarding him, it’s instilling money habits that has many Americans in maxed out debt.
Do him the service of teaching him about money and money management. [Reply]
You can buy perfectly serviceable items that are not like what you described in the OP.
Yeah, but it’s not the stuff in the OP. You use to be able to get into exotics for about $325. Granted I was buying my own Pepe Jeans at the buckle in the late 80’s for the same price his Ariats were today. [Reply]
