When you know, in your heart of hearts ... it's wrong ... but you also know that, your opinion on the matter means shite and, to be honest, it's really none of your damm business.
IOW - You care, but can't change things.
Where I live, it's an extended family, 3 generations under one roof.
The person in question is my 'Nephew', he's 12. Heck of a nice kid, good heart, well raised by his Mother and the extended Family.
Considerate of others.
To look at him he would pass for 15 or 16 ... but he's 12. Starts 'High School' this year, but, till then, he's in junior.
His Birthday is soon and his Grandmother and Mother have hatched a plot to buy him a 'Scooter' ... not a serious motorbike mind you, just something smaller for the local Soi's.
When told of the plan, I voiced my protests, siting all the usual arguments revolving around a 12 year old being in charge of a 'Scooter'.
So, when the time came to collect the 'Scooter', they knew not to ask me to drive them.
Nor his Grandfather, who just shakes his head at the idea.
His mum, she doesn't work, relies on a stipend from her Thai boyfriend.
Probably doesn't have BHT 1,000 to rub together, so my assumption is that Grandma has bought the bike.
Still his mum, she's equally nice (as her son), real pleasant like, a great sister to my partner, I genuinely like her.
Has done a good job of raising her son without a Father these past 5 or 6 years.
But I reckon she's made a mistake with this decision.
Today was the pick-up day. They hired a van, BHT 7,000 in hand for the purchase and collected the 'Scooter'.
Scooter my arse ... it's one of those Vespa style motorbikes, well capable of 80 kph+
It doesn't take a great imagination to think what a 12 year old will do with a motorbike.
I don't want to think the worse, but I fear the worse.
Heck, I hope he proves me wrong.
I know it's wrong, but I also know it's just none of my business.
Any similar experiences?
