Phrasing indicates that you're not helping him pay for college. But you can buy him a "nice" car. Yeeeah. How much of that gift was about you, and how much was about your son's future? Kid's got the right idea, and you're dead wrong. F your life, indeed.

As ungrateful as he might seem, he's got a valid point.

I don't think thats ungrateful, I think it means he has his priorities straight! There's nothing wrong with sacrificing the desire to have a car for less student loans in the future. He probably could've been less rude about it, but his mom could've also asked him what he would like before spending x amount of money on something.

Your son is smarter than you! Miraculously, you raised him to be more responsible and forward thinking.

Well, he does have a point there.

It's the thought that counts...

I'm not really sure what to say about this one. I guess its awesome that he would rather have a college education than a car, but seems kind of strange that he wouldnt be a little excited about getting a new car.

You've got a good kid. Be proud he told u that

Things that will never happen in America. Just saying.

Kid has his priorities straight. You should be proud of him. Together you can figure out how to return/sell the car and put the cash into his college fund
