This kid was a handful. He was in countless fights when he was young. He was kicked out of 4 public schools. He refused to learn anything they taught and refused homework completely. he smashed school windows when they gave him a hard time. He was just a horrible kid. When he got to high school, he stopped fighting as much, but he just failed everything. We had doctors evaluate him and give him this med and that. But we tried the meds for a week and never went down that road again. He just quit school at 16. From that time until he was 21 he did nothing but play video games and hang out in his room. Never even thought about doing anything around the house or helping in any way. A job was an alien thought to him. I was very seriously worried that he was going to be living in our house for life.
Then one day, my nephew, a big brash kid that you really cannot say no to, says boy, I am picking you up next week and you are working for me. So my boy goes. He is all of a sudden in Toronto making 30 bucks and hour. While he is there, he meets some girl (the kid has never even been on a date before, even though lots of girls have tried). The girl happens to be very wealthy.


Now what I haven't mentioned yet is that the boy is also incredibly smart. I think of myself as a very intelligent person, but he is right up there with me. He is the only family member that can beat me on game nights etc... Like he knows why the Turks invaded polland in 1223 or that red dye is made of beetles..

So to bring this up to date, in the last year, the boy has got engaged, clearly has plans in the next year to be married and have a child, has went back to school and averaged nearly 100%, lives in a waterfront home in Toronto, worth about 5 mil, spends weekends at the cottage in Collingwood. In the last year, he has spent two weeks in Hawaii, one week in Vancouver, 4 weeks in total in Florida, and a week in Nova Scotia. Right now they are planning a 6 week tour of Europe.

I mean I am very happy, but I sort of think how the hell did I never get lucky? Both my daughters and both my adopted kids have had the same kind of luck. Even my grandkids already have had a shit ton of luck shine on them.
 
There's not such thing as luck, there is such thing as bad parenting though.

I’m happy his life turned out well. Most with his attitude and track record don’t.
 
All that crap to basically say you're jealous of your own children? You should be happy your children are having better than you.
You've issues pal.

Well, try getting a girlfriend, then try making in steady, then try getting married, then try having a kid, and then try to raise them, and then try to help with their kids, and THEN, try replying to my thread.
 
Sounds like a best case scenario. He's out of your house, looks like he will be happy and have a good life, and won't need any type of financial support. Once we're parents it isn't about us, and it actually sounds like his luck is yours as well. So you did get lucky too.

Luck?

You should be thanking your nephew for turning his life around.
 
Pretty sad to be jealous of your own kids. That's a new low I've never considered.
 
Strange thread. Just roll with it. He's made it. Somehow, someway.

Laugh it off and smile rather than sit there being bitter.
 
Shitty parent whose child rescued by uncle and now parent is jelly.

Pathetic. Consider doing Darwin a favor and select yourself out of existence.
 
Can you ask him if I can lend 20 bucks to get the Tito vs Chuck PPV?
 
Strange topic.
And why do call your own son 'boy'? Are you Kratos?
 
Be happy that you reached the ultimate milestone in parenthood - having a child who grew up to be successful in life, even if he did have a rocky beginning.
 
wait wut?


your kids are thriving, how much more lucky can you get?
 
Ts sounds like a bitter parent than happy for the kid. Just enjoy man.

Also, started to turn around when he came here to toronto. We change bum lives here. Unless you are from here like me. You gotta work harder.
