Shitty way to teach a lesson to an 8 year old. Shoulda payed a portion, and put the rest into their college/savings. Paying a nickel when upu promised 500 is straight up evil.

Anon's dad will be left in a retirement home because being looked after at old age for making Anon grow up wasn't in a contract.
Reading_username@reddit
in this day and age, more like left on the street.
Retirement homes aint cheap - social security most of the time isn't enough to cover it.

I assume there's gotta be awful state ran facilities with like 6 people to a bed that'll take people with no money

uno_name_left@reddit
You'd assume wrong in most cases. I used to do outreach for a homeless shelter and a large majority of the folks I distributed supplies to where elderly. I mean a 90 something year old named Ms strawberry who still had to work. A couple in their late 70s living out of a car and the wife had severe dementia. And so on. Many just die on the streets with no one noticing.

You got to start planning for retirement early. Max out that Roth IRA each year!
Got to assume social security will be done for and the government won't care anymore than they do now.
shiggydiggypreoteins@reddit
which is horseshit, knowing im paying out the ass in social security taxes every year just so I can get a “go fuck yourself” in 30 years when I go to collect it back
uno_name_left@reddit
Preaching to the choir man. I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't going to the folks voting for our downfall and so hateful they don't care who they harm including themselves as long as those they hate are hurting too.

My grandma lived in a place like that. When she died we could fit all her worldly possessions in a small cardboard box, and the box wasn’t even full
peepeeinmypajts@reddit
Idk if you don't mind me asking why we're your parents so complacent. Were you guys also poor
GooGoo-Barabajagal@reddit
Yeah. It was the only place we could afford. She used to live in a house behind my uncle’s house but eventually had a stroke and needed around the clock care. Neither she or my grandpa (who had passed 10 years prior) had any savings. When my grandma died there was no inheritance, we actually owed money lol
plzdont-@reddit
tbh not in the states but. honestly, what is stopping anybody here from buying a one-way ticket to a country where they value and respect old folks, and just embedding yourself there? obviously gotta learn a language and you should probably do that long before you go there but. my 90yr old ass will just fly to a central/south american or SE asian country where old folks are honored and shit and they’ll take care of me for sure.
Eisenhorn87@reddit
No, what will actually happen is you immediately getting deported back to where you came from once your visa runs out. SE Asian citizens don't pay taxes to support foreign leeches

Yall are harsh. It may have been a bit of a harsh lesson but its not a terrible lesson. Besides I doubt his father did it all the time. Its a boatload of crap when you expect something and because it wasnt written down (say a handshake deal) the other party can just not do what was expected cause its not written
HereIsACasualAsker@reddit
nope, but it is written in the law never the less.
Henroide@reddit
When I was a rebellious teen I would argue with my parents about my freedom and their answer would be about me not being 18, after a while I told them not to look for me when they were old and frail because I wouldn't be there for them, which actually got me kinda kicked out of the house XD ( I was living alone but had an aunt that lived a few minutes away and would check up on me).
But after a year or so of being no contact they reached out again and started treating me a whole lot better.

Kid’s never gonna forget this
Routine-Ad-2840@reddit
my parents did something similar, everything they promised to me they failed to hold up their side of the bargain, never once got to go on a school trip because everytime they would make me work for it and then never let me go or pay for it.
now i have lifelong distrust of all people and zero work ethic because my mind has been trained to not see a reward despite effort being put in, my body can't expect it and i've spent years and years of my life trying to unfuck that, DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR KIDS.
everything i enjoyed was taken from me, i used to hussle trading pokemon cards to make money to afford food, eventually i got so good i started putting away money and had a substantial amount put away, then my birthday came and my nana handed me money infront of my parents so they knew i had money, they looked for that and found all my money 500+ dollars.
the thing is, i'm still trying to teach myself that the worst people i ever met in my life were my parents and that almost nobody else is as heartless as they are, because i've never been fucked over once like they convinced me the world was gonna fuck me over and over, all i realized is they were getting fucked over by themselves.
it's taken me nearly 15+ years of being away from them to undo some of the damage they have done, they will die alone.

Ok_Two_2604@reddit
My little brother and I played checkers a lot. He was like 6 and I was 16 when he got into it. I’d let him win bc he was a little kid. Then he started showboating. Dancing and shaking his butt and singing he was the greatest. So I let him win some more. Then I bet him $20 he couldn’t beat me again, and this was the 80s and he was a kid so $20 was a ridiculous amount of money. Then I ran the table on him bc, you know, he was 6. He learned several lessons that day, and every once in a while he still brings it up and says it kept him from making some stupid decision. Yet for some reason he doesn’t want me teaching the same lesson to his kids.

ZX52@reddit
I genuinely can't stand parents who pull this kind of shit to "teach them what the world is really like." You're their parents, their primary role models - it's your job to embody what the world should be like to them, and to be a safe harbour for them. Obviously don't raise them to be naïve, but don't be as shitty to your kids as the world will be.

HighClassTroglodyte@reddit
I was playing WII bowling with my son who was around 8 or 9 at the time. He left a 7-10 split and I, mostly jokingly, told him if he picked up the spare I’d give him $1000. Well, he did pick it up.
I’m a firm believer of doing what you say you’ll do. I wanted him to know that if Dad says he’s going to do something, he does it. So, I let him hit send on the transfer is the money into his savings account. It reinforced that he can trust me to do what I say I’m going to do and he has learned to be a man of his word as well.
We still talk about it occasionally and it’s a core memory for him.
_Haza-@reddit
What I’d have done is show him the benefits of compounding interest for his savings. Good way to build saving habits early.
Good stuff my dude.
MulitRush@reddit
I want you to know as a son (im now 29) with a very shitty dad you are amazing. By similar comparison, my dad (no idea what it was even to this day) said he had an account for me and an account for my brother when we were kids (roughly had about 40k in each they showed us a website with these numbers) and that he would keep adding and when we turned 18 he'd give it to us. We both remembered this and asked when older brother turned 18 (i was 16 at the time) account never happened. Never existed etc. "What are you talking about?" My dad is worth north of 20M+ he doesn't need the 100k, he never needed it to pay off debt etc. Money never existed, lied to 2 of his 3 children. You can guess my sister is the favorite, totaled 4 cars etc. I say all this trying to not sound bitter (I am) bc tbh my dad owes me nothing (financially I mean) and tbh I wanted nothing more than to have my dad care about me, the money never mattered. So keep it up, you're the best dad a kid could ask for ❤️
Tablesafety@reddit
Imo your dad owes you kids everything actually, as he is the one that decided you would exist. You got no say in the matter. Have kids, they’re a commitment for LIFE
That is to say, your dad is a scummy fucknugget
NeojepToo@reddit
When I was little, probably 5, I was playing darts with my dad - he was always such a smart-ass and I ofcourse followed suit, so the whole time I was basically just putting holes in the wall while learning how to shit-talk. Out of nowhere I boasted that the next dart I put on the board would be a bullseye. My dad laughed, so I doubled down and said "I'm going to take this dart and put it right in the center of the board", and he laughed again, saying he'd give me $20 if I did. So, being the smart-ass he raised me to be, I pulled a chair over to the board, climbed up, and pushed that dart into the center of the board. Through laughter he tried telling me that's not what he meant, but I wasn't having it. I told him I did exactly what I told him I was going to do, and he should do the same. He came through, and even brought be to the store to get a new game. I almost think he was proud of me for that.

I’m curious what his reaction was to the money being sent to a savings account (obviously the only real option here but just saying) because as an 8 year old, I would’ve been looking for the CASH 😭 and thinking I got stiffed or something

driedupemo@reddit
Based of you to put it in a savings account for him too. Wouldn't surprise me if that upset him a bit, cause I know I would have felt a bit cheated that I didn't get the money straight up, but you still fulfilled your deal and it was just a better choice of action, which I bet he appreciated even more once he grew up.
Thin_General_8594@reddit
I'm a firm believer of not making promises to your kids you don't plan on keeping, good on you for respecting your son and standing by what you said
vivianvixxxen@reddit
That's what happened with me in my home growing up. Didn't do chores? Got screamed at. Did chores? Got screamed at for something about how I did the chores. I figured that as long as I was going to get screamed at for three hours regardless, I might as well enjoy some video games/tv/whatever instead of doing chores.
Alsimni@reddit
More likely it taught him to be obnoxious about demanding his parents write down and sign any agreements they make with him, and god forbid that carry over into his interactions with strangers. Anon won't be making many friends asking for contracts and screwing them over for relying on verbal agreements.

When I was an 11 year old kid, I told my dad I wanted a PS3 for my birthday. He told me that it was too expensive for a single year's gift, but instead of buying me one and just telling me to wait a few years before asking for anything again, he decided to get me to start a campaign across my entire family to raise funds slowly. Everyone was told to get me gift cards to a local electronics store, so I would not be overly tempted to spend it on useless crap. A little bit at a time, I saved up year after year. This was a two year venture where I basically sat out each birthday and christmas in anticipation of my eventual purchase.
At one point, I had enough to get a limited edition Xbox 360, but the PS3 was more. I wanted to buy the Xbox, but my dad was vehemently against microsoft products and basically refused to take me to the store until I agreed to stick to my guns and go for the PS3 anyhow. Eventually, I saved enough to afford a 128gb PS3 slim, so I bought it. I was so excited to play it! I managed to convince my dad to help me buy a cheap game from a different store, since I pointed out that waiting three years to afford a PS3 I couldn't play after I did the saving was a little much, and he agreed.
It got the YLOD after 4 hours. I tried to troubleshoot it for 7 hours afterwards, but I was still a dumb kid, and I didn't want to try and fix it myself only to void a warranty or something and be stuck with a paperweight. I was scared to tell him, to make him think that I had been irresponsible with the gift after wasting so much time gunning for it. I decided to ask him if he had an extra hard drive disk laying around, so I could swap the bad drive for a good one and move on. My dad was shocked that the original unit failed, though, and didn't feel like it was smart to try and fix it either. So, he took me back to the electronics store that day and we tried to exchange it for another one.
Unfortunately, they didn't have any more of the 128 models, and the 256 was 50 bucks more. I tried to suggest that I could just take the money back then and keep saving until I could afford it, but the store in question told me that they had to refund it to the original method of purchase, and since they had thrown out the original gift cards, they could only exchange it same-day. I had also suggested that I could take the Xbox 360 instead, but that was also denied by the store as it wasn't a like-for-like exchange. My dad decided that this whole situation was bullshit for me, so he begrudgingly coughed up the money to pay the difference.
That unit still works to this day, although I passed it along to a family member at one point. I wish I could say that owning it was a joy, but I had to go through the closure of the PSN network a year later, which lasted a shockingly long amount of time for someone actively gaming on a daily basis back then. Between that, and all the issues I had playing the games I was most interested in, I was pretty happy to get my hands on a used 360 elite shortly afterwards. That console's disk drive is failing now, but it lasted seven long, good years.
Thinking back on that time, as annoying and frustrating as it was for me, makes me sad when I relate my experience to this person. They're someone who did everything right, like I did, but they didn't get a happy ending. In my case, I had the horrific customer service of The Source to blame for my woes. In theirs, however, the person who made the promise, who endeavored to teach their child an important lesson, was to blame for the trouble.
To me, the difference is stark: my dad wasn't necessarily entitled to do anything for me as far as buying me things is concerned. Parents take care of kids, but buying them gaming consoles does not necessarily count as enrichment or necessity. However, instead of flatly refusing me, he gave me every opportunity to succeed in getting what I wanted while also doing his best to impress upon me the value of time and money. When the lesson was tested, he decided that making sure it meant something was more important that his own comfort - remember, he couldn't afford to spend a lot of money, so $50 was a big deal at the time.
This person's dad tried to teach a lesson about unfairness, but ultimately, all his actions serve to prove in my eyes, is that trusting the right people makes all the difference, and he ultimately holds little value for his child's time. If this person should take anything away, it should be that if you're going to accept a large payment for a large amount of service or goods, that you should set up a proper payment plan ahead of time. And, if you can get a guarantee for the promised reward, you should. Imagine if OP had gotten their dad to purchase gift cards and provide receipts at the beginning of the summer? It would have been a much better way to teach their child about the world than screwing them over.
Anyhow, sorry for rambling. I hope that someone found this little story interesting. Or, at the very least, topical.

Would a secret recording where the dad confirms it work? Like, if he went to his dad and asked:

If the dad replies "Yes" wouldn't that help or could that not be used as evidence?

nobodyimportant1377@reddit
WRONG!!! at least in most common law countries (USA, UK, Australia), Verbal contracts ARE a type of binding contract. While it is definitely harder to prove a non-written contract in a court due to the lack of evidence, this is still in theory a breach of contract since there was both an offer and acceptance between two willing parties. HOWEVER, considering that this is a domestic agreement as opposed to a commercial one, it is typically presumed by the courts that this type of agreement was not to be taken seriously and therefore the burden of proof would fall onto the claimaint (OP in this case) to prove it was a legitimate contract between the parties and to provide evidence. There is also the problem of intention to create actual legal intent, which is kind of iffy in domestic situations as well. I'm literally just nerding out rn...
