Yall losing it over Brian McKnight not giving his 30 year old sons money and buying them houses and cars is still LAUGHABLE
GloRilla's siblings aren't her children.
And people were/are mainly disgusted with Brian trolling and publicly disowning his kids, and damn near making a joke of it all with the petty jabs at them.
Even if he has issues with them, he didn't have to engage in all the back and forth especially when he has the much bigger platform and many won't see whatever they're tossing at him first - if anything
The fact that he has a huger platform was the reason why it an unwise move to get petty. We only were really able to see what he was doing first. His kids' platforms don't have as much social reach. So even if it were back and forth with the kids being messy, it appeared like an attack on his kids cuz we mainly saw his posts, not theirs.
Brian just handled the situation in the most unintelligent way possible. Even if he was in the right, he handled it WRONG.
That's why he got lashed.
I don't know about your parents. Maybe they still pay for your things? But a GOOD parent doesn't enable their children to be bums their entire lives. We've been through this before. There comes a time when your kids are no longer children and need to take on responsibilities. If you expect Brian to buy everything for his 30 something year old kids, then Glo can take care of her mother and siblings for a lil while.
that's exactly what Brian did.
He even admitted to it.
He spoiled his kids then expected them to be UNspoiled overnight.
Any "GOOD parent" knows certain lessons must be taught earlier and not later in life at the LAST MINUTE once you're bored spoiling them.
As far as my family....I come from generations of people who taught me hard work and independence pays off, including the wonderful man in my sig who owned his own very successful bar.
instilling the importance of independence wasn't a FOOTNOTE, and "oh btw!" tea given to me at age 25. if it was i highly doubt i'd be on the path i am now and have what have for myself.
Yes. BUT saying "I spoiled my kids until they were 21" doesn't mean they can get ANYTHING they want without responsibility at 30. At 40. At 50. 
"Oh! Am 30 years old and didn't know I should have responsibilities"!
Brian gave them plenty notice to get their shit together.
Brian messed up with his parenting
he knows he did. and he was too LAZY to fix it because that's one thing he couldn't throw cash at to solve or bury
if anything the cash created the monsters.
so instead, he took the easy way out and weaponized his new Chink "family" against his own offspring
boo Brian is disgusting and there's not enough explaining in the world to get him out of that label
No. You explained it perfectly. By the age of 30, they would have NO IDEA things cost money. It makes total sense
it's not about a child knowing that things cost money
That's the easy lesson to learn
It's about them being aware that work comes before getting things that cost money
That's the harder part because work requires effort and initiative
Ask any well-off parent who is trying to NOT spoil their kids and that's what they'll say. They won't talk about prices of things. They talk about WORK.
They won't say "oh I taught my child how much every gucci slipper costs so they'll know for future reference." They'll say "I'm involving my child in X project cuz I want them to know the value of hard work and that
money doesn't come easy."
