Rant: My Super Sweet 16
I was watching "My Super Sweet 16" on TV today because I stumbled upon it while searching for something to watch while eating dinner.
Bloody hell those are bitching brats.
The Spoiled Brat in question - fourteen, celebrating her fifteenth birthday rather than her sixteenth, despite the name of the show - wanted a car (of course). With daddy wrapped around her finger, she went to the car shop, where daddy didn't want to pay for the car. Spoiled Brat whined and bitched about it, despite the fact that she won't have a license for at least another year (and by that time, she'll probably be tired of the "old" car), and said she was going to "raise hell" if she didn't get the car.
Onto the decorations for the party. Spoiled Brat wanted a specific decoration, mommy didn't want the same ones. Mommy got the ones mommy wanted, rather than the ones Spoiled Brat wanted. Spoiled Brat cried and bitched and screamed about it - and found out that mommy saved $3 000 on getting the decorations she wanted. Upon finding this out, Spoiled Brat did not say, "Oh, that's a lot of money - it makes sense that we got those, seeing how they weren't that different from the ones that I wanted." Nope. Spoiled Brat ups the bitchiness about ten levels and says, "Then I want those $3 000 you saved."
And daddy says, "Yes, dear, you'll get the $3 000."
*headdesk*
Over the course of the program, Spoiled Brat also whined and bitched during a photoshoot where they took pictures of her (dressed as an - wait for it - angel), told her father to "Shut up, your voice is so annoying!" and screamed at her mother.
I wonder if she watches the episode and feels ashamed, or if she feels that it was completely correct behavior. Either way, I don't blame her boyfriend for dumping her (although he wanted her back after watching her do a belly dance that had all the men - of very varying ages despite the fact that she was, barely, fifteen years old - at the party drooling...).
Sigh.
