I'm drinking coffee at home↓ 

 I managed to have enough funds to scrape together to get a lap top for my son to help with his school work.

"I bought you a laptop," I said.

"Is it second hand?"He asked.

"None of your business, it's a laptop to do your school work on , not to do gaming on!"

I said to him.

"What brand is it?"

"HP" I replied.

"Give it to my younger brother, it's no good!" he said to me.

By this time, his ungrateness was getting to me.

I pointed to his big television.

"If you ruin this laptop like the one you had at Christmas, that big TV is leaving your room, never to be seen again!"

This isn't the first or last night my son has been so ungrateful.

When he was 4 years old. He had a £75 new bike off my ex-plum's mum for his birthday.

"Is that I all I'm having?" Was he replied.

As least my younger son is grateful for what he gets, second hand or new.

I wrote yesterday's blog post.
