Want to come to my sweet 16?

That show just goes to show how people spoil their kids.Seems to give them more money and things then love.Daddy's poor little rich girl ect...I just wonder how some of those girls would handle it if just for a month or two they had to live my life.How would they cope if their family lost all that money?

OHHH..this programme smacks a little bit of the one called ..young ,rich and famous...but im presuming its on sky..and i dont have sky ...the money spent on fashion shoes,cars..omg it is beyond belief!!! No corsa`s or astra`s for them lol ....our daughters first little car was a fiesta...red...a fab little car...and the partys...well in excess of $100,000...ridiculous.. Bring back the sausage rolls..the fairy cakes..cheese and pineapple on sticks!!!!!...lolol......no you arent a killjoy....just sensible....i was mad at my daughter a while ago..i cant say anything as its none of my business...but she bought a Vivienne Westwood handbag...£600...now thats beyond my coprehension....mine cost £15...but aybe its me who is sad!!

Oh, that is just too much. I know some people that are or at least grew up as part of that "class" one flat out told me that she didn't want a "coming out" party. Kind of the off shoot of the old "seasons" in earlier times to find a husband for daughters.

I think this show promotes being materialistic at an early age. I mean come on, not everyone who watch that and get all wowed up can actually afford that kind of thing. Just because you have almost everything doesn't mean you've got to flaunt it on national TV right? I mean what's the point of this show anyway? Can't they just keep it private. Well, it's just my opinion anyway. And my brother's also. LOL. Cheers!

My husband and I have caught this show on MTV more than once. We are shocked everytime we see it. Not only are these girls and sometimes guys demanding, and selfish; they are completely ungrateful! It irks me to no end that not only do the parents shell out all of this money on a party; they buy the expensive luxury or sports cars too. When it comes in a color other than what the kid wants they throw a big tantrum! The funny thing is; watch the mother's of the girls. More often than most they are just as bad as the teenager! I saw one that the parents bought the 16 year old girl a stretch Hummer. UH, this kid just got her driver's license and they buy her this ridiculous car?? I am hoping (sad as it is) that these parents are only acting this way for the cameras. The whole thing is disgusting. My husband and I agree, our kids would probably be spoiled if we had the kind of money these people throw around. But they wouldn't be like these kids with their new Mercedes and BMW's. Not only that, at the first sign of disrespect they would lose the luxuries that they had until they learned. We also don't want our kids handed everything on a silver platter. What lesson would they learn with that?

LOL I have never seen this show but I have heard of these types of parties. How ridiculous is it. I guess when you are wealthy and don't pay any attention to your kids otherwise, you have to make it up to them somehow. I guess that is through money and not actually realizing that you are screwing up as a parent by doing this to your kids whether you want to see it or not. No work ethic just turn your kids into mooches. Makes a ton of sense! Ughhhh!

My first thought here is "why?". Why did you sit through 30 minutes of such drivel? I think this is a really bad thing to happen. We should be encouraging good behaviour and hard work in our youngsters, not showering them with expensive gifts that they don't deserve. Of course, I don't begrudge someone who has the money giving their child a great party but what is going on here is purely exploitation. If I had thousands to spend on my kids birthdays, I would think of a more productive way to use it and it certainly would not be televised. I don't really understand the whole thing. It's not as if 16 is all that special and then I suppose these kids will be overindulged 2 years later as well with something even more lavish. I'm not jealous or anything. Really. For my 16th birthday, I had a few friends round at my sisters. If people have to spend all that money and be so extravagent, I wonder why. Would they have as many people turn up to a few drinks down the pub?

I have seen this show before and i kinda wish my parents had that much money to spend on something like that for me. although i wouldnt take the party, i'd take the car ;) hehe. I only watched the show once.. i'm with you.. that girl was super spoiled!

No sweets you aren't a killjoy - well either that or I am one too! lol I wouldn't do this for my kids even if I could afford to - I like them to learn about respect, working and actually earning what you receive and I don't see them learning any of this if they get everything they wish for when they wish for it! My kids don't take anything for granted - if they misbehave they have privileges totally removed but at the same time they are very good students who are constantly getting praised both for their diligence and helpful nature towards others and their academic ability! I don't for one second think they would be this way if they had been so spoilt! That sounds awful but it is true but we still have an awful lot of fun together! xxx

i never saw the show as i don't watch much tv and neither do my girls...thankfully...they don't need to be getting thoughts that this is "normal". I really don't know but I doubt that most families indulge their little girls this way ....it is just tv i hope.

i have not seen this show,and i really could not tell you if it is actually on here in australia,but i think i probably would think the same as you.i don't think that i would spoil my children if i had that much money.my godfather is a millionaire and has five children.he never indulged them and they worked for every cent they got.he had a hugh farm and the kids would have to work the land,even though he good have hired men to do it.they allhad to buy their own cars and they would have to be the most greatest bunch of kids around.cheers sue

Over here the show is called "My Super Sweet 16", and I for one HATE THE SHOW. It's the most vulgar and disgusting show I've ever seen. Sure their parents are giving them a party to remember all of their lives, but I seem to recall "the happiest day of my life!" being a wedding day...Not a sixteenth birthday. How are the parents going to top it next year? Why can't these kids just be content with 2 Proms, 4 Homecomings, and huge wedding bash like the rest of us? My wedding was no $100,000 affair, coming in at only $5000 incl. clothes for everyone, but it was more than enough. These girls are manipulative, socially retarded, materialistic (doesn't even cover 1/2 of what they are), and very hygienically disgusting. Caked on makeup and singed hair is not cute. Neither is the tooth-cheese and green stuff coating the inside of your over-lipsticked mouth. Why can't the parents of those girls teach them better than that? It is beyond dismaying to realize that there are people choosing between groceries for their kids or diapers for the same kids, and these too-wealthy, empty-headed, materialistic sons of b!tches throwing ridiculous parties for their lower-than-vomit kids, and teaching these stupid stupid kids the same "values and morals". If you want to teach your kids real values and morals, make them work from the time they are old enough to get a job, and volunteer in a homeless children's shelter on the weekends. Sorry b@stards... I really hate most people. Society has forgotten how to function properly. I despise rich people especially because they have more money than brains. Why does that always seem to happen? The more money you have, the stupider you are.

I caught the end of this the other day and I agree it is a complete waste of space with lots of rich spoilt kids demanding more money from daddy. why do they make such rubbish programmes! It amazes me that people watch them.
