Well, the did say "I did really good this semester" which I assume means he did really well this semester.

You never know, lots of parents these days reward for mediocrity.

Maybe. I'm not going to judge the parenting skills of the house without any details though, I guess I stick by my hometheater suggestion because I really enjoy mine.

Well, one good way to start your list would be to think about what you want, and add those things to the list. Is it your wishlist or ours?

 

[uhohs]

all i ever got for A's was a lighter beating.

panasonic ae900 $1800
Ascend speakers $1300 (3x340s 4x200s)
HK AVR435 $500
SVS PC-Ultra $1200
That leaves $200 for some cables and accessories for a DIY screen etc

$1500/a, $1000/b?

 

[Shadowknight]

Well what do you like? Television? Electronics in general? Computers? Games? Music? Comic books? Booze and hookers?

:roll:.....

 

[Baked]

What happens if you take 1 class and get straight As? Do you get a brand new Carrera GT?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I bet that AnthroAndStargate just saw the success of Opteron Guy's shens and decided to jump on the "I'm a spoiled brat" bandwagon.

I really don't think that it is jealousy. I am under the assumption that he believes it is ridiculous for someone to get a $5,000 reward for getting two A's and two B's.

I don't know... if his parents are millionares or something, it would make sense to me. Instead of just getting him everything he wants whenever, they give him really big birthday/christmas budgets based on if he meets certain goals?

I'm not for or against it really, I'm just not deciding outright that this is a terrible idea or the OP is spoiled or his parents are doing a bad job.

He has done well. His parents have given him some £££ for good grades.

When I finished Uni I was the first in our family to complete Uni. My parents were really proud. I got a holiday to Japan, then to HK and a £5k for a car. I spent £600 on a car and £765 and saved the remaining £3.5k. That isn't too far off from the OP but admittedly I did not get this every year and it was a one off for passing Uni.

[Kelemvor]

I'd take the cash.

That is different though. Being the first in the family to graduate from a University is a huge deal unlike what I'm reading form the OP's post that sounds more like, "Yay, I did good in one semester so my parents gave me 5K to blow".
