New venture selling cars.

[phi1]

Am i ****, my son showed zip interest and has gone back to earning his usual working for my other business and i have been slowly selling the stock i bought for him.

This rubbish has cost me 5k and numerous wasted hours along with plenty of shouting matches, still im not even getting annoyed, because the new me is taking things in my stride.

Im going to these anger management sessions now, 90 quid an hour im telling you its working.

Ah not so good. I would have loved to do something like it. Me and my dad have done a few cheap cars for a while and made a little quite a bit if you can buy them cheap. At least it's not cost you £1xxxx you would be pretty annoyed then. Got anything interesting in stock? And it could be worse he could be doing nothing atleast he is working!

Iv run the cheapies through the auction, someone working for me is buying another one 45 quid a week and the rest i will nick a few quid when they go.

Im not bothered i cant be bothered to get the hump with him any more, but all these years 3 business ventures iv failed at and 2 out of 3 down to him, he should be ****ing ashamed.

You want to adopt me? I can move in right away. We can get matching t-shirts "Worlds greatest son" and "Worlds greatest dad" and play football in slow motion in the park together. And slow motion high fives as we sell another car. And then the violin music will start and cut to "Old son" as he walks dejectedly to his room in the cupboard under the stairs when he sees everything he's lost.

Coming from the opposite end, I can tell you that sometimes you don't realise what you want or have until its too late. Thankfully I managed to do everything I did do very well but believe me when I say I threw away some incredible opportunities from my parents. To be honest I became a bit of a lost sheep when the RAF denied me at the last minute due to my eyesight and I didn't really have any direction. I was given opportunity after opportunity by my parents and foolishly I squandered a few of them for silly reasons. Now that said, I did at least take every opportunity and excelled in all of them but I just didn't stick with them. Some of those, particularly the racing career, I somewhat regret passing up but I can't really complain

Sometimes it just takes time to find your feet and what you want. It took me 26 years to decide I finally wanted to be a doctor, I wasn't mature enough at 18/19 to make that choice, I was too interested in earning very fast large sums of money running businesses and professional gaming. I just didn't realise *quite* how lucky I was until a few years ago, so believe me, it'll hit your son soon, just keep up the good work. It's better to offer those opportunities than to live your life regretting the fact that you didn't.

This is exactly why I'm so thankful for my parents giving me the chances and opportunities in life. Its not that I wouldn't have made it myself, I know I'm good at what I do but it didn't half make it easier having that backup and support both financially and emotionally. Sometimes we all need a bit of a push!

Mark on a side note if you want these cars gone my Dad might be interested in buying them from you?

Collection isn't an issue. If interested, email me a list of what you have and what you want for them and I'll find out for you

If i thought leaving him to his own devices would work i would do that, but i dont think it will.

If only his sister had been born a boy she would be smashing it now.

What incentive is there for him to bother? He gets whatever he wants without putting the effort in.

I wish I didnt have to go to work and save up for my E92

I just dunno what to say, we had a balistic super argument yesterday about this, i would knock him out but whats the point, it didnt work before, it wont work now.

If you got an idea im open to it, iv honestly run out of suggestions.

You know what the saving grace of this is? My business patners son is just as bad, ironic that aint it.

They call my business partner Midas lol, you gotta laugh his son never turned to gold lolololol im hammered ignore me.

Charge him rent, tell him to get a job, if you own his car, sell it to somebody else. Then he can see what its like when he hasn't got somebody to just take for granted.

Indeed, cut him off (in terms of supplying cars, money, jobs) and let him grow a pair. He'll learn to understand everything he takes for granted.
