School Shopping Extravaganza and Bitch Session

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, ****…

Lol, you bought your son $650 boots? For school? My dad would be laughing his ass off right now.

Just a reminder, you may have to clothe your child, but you don't have to clothe him with a $650 pair of boots. A $20 pair of Walmart shoes covers feet just fine. Hell, they have pretty solid work boots for $70 bucks.

There's a difference between necessity and want.

If I wanted something specific, it was on me to pay for it (Or at least a big part of it). Taught me responsibility and to take care of my shit better.

And then complains and seems oblivious to why it is that his kid won’t spend his own money.

My Dad would've said, "I'll buy you the Sitka gear because we'll use that hunting this fall and will last you 10+ years, but if you want to spend a fortune on a pair of boots that probably will need to be placed in less than 5 years, spend your own $$$, son."

Yup and that's exactly what I did. I bought the expensive CK and Tommy jeans and the Polo shirts with my own money (I was a 90s teen). My mom bought the Doc Marten's boots for me because she knew they'd last forever. I bought my own special expensive soccer cleats. She also bought me a nice Jan Sport backpack, but it was at the beginning of sophomore year and it was expected to last through the rest of school (and it did). Aside from that (and stuff like underwear and socks), I bagged groceries and refereed soccer to buy that kind of stuff on my own.

I'd be suprised if my parents spent $650 on shoes for the school year for me all through k-12

I didn't know what Tecova boots were so I went to their web page. Nice boots but holy cow. $650 puts them in the top 5 boots for cost.

The prices are pretty insane.

I have a niece with the same disease your son has and the marketing machines have her stacking up quite the bill trying to keep up with the crowd she wants to hang with. Luckily, she does do a really good job of taking care of what the people around her buy for her. I caught her complaining about her car being ~10 years old, which her parents fully paid for, the other day while putting a new battery in it and had to make a little bit of a corrective comment. The school parking lot being half filled with high priced vehicles doesn't help the issue.

Her younger sister, who is very financially conservative and had a part time summer job, told her if she didn't quit eating so much it wasn't going to matter what fancy brand she puts on her ass because no one was going to be looking at it anyways. Middle child for the win.

Yah. I still remember the time I asked my dad if he could buy me a pair of Jordan's. I didn't even play organized ball, so he was like "what do you need those for?" In the end, he said absolutely not after seeing the pricetag, lol. He just laughed in my face.

I worked in HS, but I turned every paycheck over to him and he gave me $20/week. Turned out later that he put all that $$$ into investments for college, and towards a car.

But man, was I unhappy I couldn't get those Jordan's at the time, lol.

Kid is not working in 650 dollar Tecovas. This is for stepping out and looking good for the ladies. We are looking at Caymen or Ostridge in that price range. Gaytor in the 1000.00 range.

They will last you a lifetime with proper care if your foot has stopped growing.
