My kid will know better than to ask for such, him dey mad?

When some people don't have food to eat, he should work and use his own money to buy it, since he doesn't have sense.

Confirm Naija mom

favoured234:
No I will not..
I will let the child know that I have the money and there is a difference between needs and wants
and also assets and liability..
Then he/she will understand why I wont buy it..

It would look like you hate him/her

You know how children are

lampardizik:

I wouldn't care much though..
If I give him 1.6M for phone at 14, then at 16 I should be willing to give him 3M wrist watch since the money I spend on him should reflect on how much I love him...

Imagine what he will want for 18 bday.. A house of his own in his choice environment.
Let the money flow from now till eternity I will not..

My brother no be matter of naija mom o, it's just very unnecessary in his life, what would I be teaching him?

If I can buy for myself then why not?

You and your spouse are a wealthy couple and indeed very rich


While on a visit to a premium Apple store in Dubia,your 13 year old child asks for a 24 karat gold Iphone 6 ($8000) for his/her 14th year birthday


As a parent,would you get it for him/her?


Dose the fact that you are wealthy enough encourage you to buy such?

Yes?

Why?

No?

Why?

Give your reasons

I will buy him the case...

pet4ril:
Wallahi, I no go buy, I rather invest it on the needy...

Truth is even Tim Cook isn't going to get such for his child.

RIP Steve Jobs children aren't using a gold iPhone e sure me!

BTW, that is just iPhone 6 not 6s...

So on my paths I can but not for a 14

9iceX:
If i can afford it -why not?


It shouldn't be about your child "being too young to use the device"... You should be more concerned on the kind of information they would be exposed to; probably while using the device to surf the internet. And as a parent, it is my duty to ensure that they are using the said device for the right purpose (information wise - academically)

Same phone made of plastic/steel can serve the purpose!

OP, getting stuffs for children including teenagers should not only be based on affordability. Need and necessity for children's request should guide the parents' actions at all time.

There are many things I have declined my wards even though I could afford them. Sometimes they need to be made to understand that not all our wishes are even granted by God even though he is in a position to grant them all.
So, I don't think I will buy this ridiculously expensive phone for him even if I could afford it. It's vanity!

You want a gold Iphone 6? Fine. Get a job and make the money required to buy it, if you make that money and choose to spend it on Iphone 6 fine. But I refuse to dash a kid an item that can feed an orphanage

with the rate at which Shameless He-goats dey yansh underage gals I won't even allow my daughter have a phone until she is 16yrs old and even at 16yrs na better close marking and plenty advice I go pack full her head, no beating or shouting, just advice coz d next generation of youth to come will be something this world can't handle.

why not i would even buy for the baby inside their moms tommy if it can use the phone.

[s]of woh value will it be tu a 14yr old nah[/s]

iF HE CAME FIRST IN HIS LAST EXAMS, THEN YES i WILL BUY IT FOR HIS COS ITS HIS BIRTHDAY.....

If he can ping God with it or download food, then I'll buy it for him

I will definitely buy it for them, but they will definitely have to work for it,to earn it and also to know the value of money
