I just don't begrudge him anything, and he's not spoilt in a way that makes him behave badly.

He's also got a room full of guitars, amps, synths, etc.

Some things are only right when you're young, and I had pretty much sod all when I was his age.

I suppose I could waste it on booze and expensive meals out etc, but I was single and independent from 18 to 40, and out on the town 7 nights a week, so I reckon I had a fair innings of selfish pleasures.
You and me both!

I was a skin flint all my life until my disastrous 2nd marriage.

I, rather the first wife gave and gave to my first lot of kids. Perhaps it was to make up for my absences and a little of wanting to live our lives through them.

In my case, it turns out it wasn't appreciated in fact, in there eyes it was there right.

Never mind it's water under the bridge now.
