Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML

Well I don't have a car, OR membership to a gym, and I'm eighteen. I'd be happy with either.

You shouldnt have expected them to give you a car. Youd be pretty lucky if you got a car and its not as if your parents are obliged to give their 16 year old a car. Take the gym membership. Be grateful

why do so many kids expect their parents to spend a couple thousand dollars on a car for their kid's 16th birthday?

I didn't get my car until I decided to go to community college and I have to maintain paying for the insurance to keep the car- mom would've made me pay for the membership so be grateful that you had free membership for three months

I'm 19. I've had a job since 16. I saved up and bought myself a car. So hush.
