It really isn't too bad if you know your child is responsible. My cousin is 8 and got a laptop from his dad's parents. But he is very well behaved and his parents won't let him take it anywhere. He just plays minecraft and terraria on it.

Same, he just watches Yogscast and Tobuscus and plays Minecraft on it

I'd punch the kid so hard, he would not be able to breath.
I'm such a kind guy

And he doesn't? When my grandparents were kids they didn't have legos. So should kids only be allowed to play with the previous generation's toys? I don't get the logic here.

Yeah well I can't punch my little cousin without getting disowned or something. That wouldn't fly in my family sadly - I can't raise someone else's kid like that anyway.

I think it's just a funny contrast =)

What's the point of an iPad? Can someone tell me? It seems to me that it's a glorified Angry Birds console.

sounds like Karmic justice to me. lol

Same kinda idea in our family with roughly the same age only I got way more presents than anyone else xD

It's a little more portable than a regular laptop, but not by much. Being able to magnify words on a screen really easily is convenient -- my mom, who has terrible eyesight, likes to use it -- but some laptops do the same thing ... Anyways, I find it hard to justify myself; not to mention that typing on an iPad is a borderline nightmare if you a lot of writing. =X

What an annoying kid and enabling parents who should learn a lesson or two from Asian parents.  A kid being that impolite is going to get smacked in almost any other family.

A few weeks ago, my uncle calls my mom to talk about Christmas presents. His plan is to 4-way split the price of an iPad ($700 thing, 3G version) with my mom and his two other sisters. He adds (I paraphrase): "maybe you should pay a little bit more since you didn't get him anything for his birthday." Keep in mind, none of my other cousins get anything from anybody besides their own parents. If I come off as jealous, you're getting me wrong... What bothers me is that my uncle basically used guilt to extract $200 out of her pocket and he's much, much richer than her.
It seems pretty clear that the uncle is the problem here.

Perhaps. A little development: They went to the apple store with the broken thing and got a new one for $400. Makes certain he'll never learn a thing.

LOL dude I would definitely tell the parents that their kid is spoiled... they need to learn they are failing as parents..

I see a lot of people with them in my restaurant either, surfing the internet, reading books or playing games on them and I think "wow that looks pretty nice", but then I remember that those people spent £400 on something that does less than my phone (which obviously has a smaller screen but is more portable), and a lot less than a laptop or netbook, and I'm glad that I'm not stupid.

If he can't behave, fucking punch him. When I was with my family and my girlfriend and my nephew did slap my girlfriend on her ass (he was 12 at that time, she was 17) I told him thats not how you treat a girl and that he's old enough to know not to touch her ass/boobs doesn't matter if he thinks its funny.
I clearly told him and I did tell him another time, as did she. I did tell him I will punch him really hard if he doesn't stop, he did not and he got punched really hard on his shoulder. His dad sure wasn't happy, but he could understand and I would not hesitate to fuck up such a spoiled kid.
I am very thankful for everything and the price doesn't matter. What matters is that somebody thought about you, invested time and actually got you something or made you something. If he cannot truly appreciate what a present means, go tell him and if he acts funny, fuck him up.
Yes - I do not care that he's younger, when he's old enough to act like a normal person and not a fucking kid (not saying kids may not do something stupid at times, but if you don't put an end to it, he will be like that as an adult as well) make him listen, make him understand.

I'm with NarutO. Obviously you shouldn't make a habit of hitting kids, but this little shit needs to learn his place and I guarantee he will if you hit him enough (unless he cries to his parents and it actually gets him somewhere). Warn him first even though he'll ignore it and then hit him. If he hits you back don't keep hitting him, just trip him up or something, the humiliation should be enough to quickly humble him and in the end you'll be doing him a favour, being a spoilt brat will get him in more trouble in the long run then a bit of bruising to his arm and ego.

Sounds like your uncle's parenting skills are severely lacking...
