My niece turned 22 last week

My niece’s birthday was last week and today she sent me a Snapchat of a Dodge steering column

I was taken back by it because she drives a Honda

Apparently her bf (who she has only been dating since February) bought her a 2014 Dodge Charger

Is this a thing?! Like who the fuck buys a person a car for a birthday present?!

Is the invoice actually on her name? Or does he own it and she can drive it? I would be wary...

that’s what I thought too honestly. I did ask. It’s in her name she says

Calling your niece a bitch is wild 😭 make sure she’s got the title in her name.

Avatar

Is her boyfriend much older than her?

That’s mad considering she’s only known him for 3 months!

Is she certain the car isn’t leased or on some kind of finance?

Avatar

he’s the same age. He bought it and it’s in her name

Avatar

it is her name. Never called anyone a bitch in a playful manner? My best friend and I call each other bitches all the time 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

I know Dodge Chargers hold their value quite well and a 10 year old model usually goes for around £10k/$13.5k USD given it’s an import. Is it roughly the same price in the US or much cheaper?

Maybe he’s in love? Has a good job or comes from money? Super generous? She’s a lucky girl for sure!

If I was the parent I would make her return the car and I would go over the documentation with the young lad to uncover/verify whatever my daughter has been told and find anything suspicious. Hard no. You can get in trouble just by being the owner of the car.

What does he do for a living?

security guard

idk what a used dodge goes for. I’d never buy one personally lol it was an old cop car apparently though. They bought it out of state too

Avatar

Maybe not in such a quick time frame but lots of people buy other people cars.. it’s not out of the ordinary.. whether it be partner, parent it’s very normal

Avatar

I guess I met shitty people and have shitty parents. I never had a car bought for me. I bought my own 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Avatar

i agree 😅

Avatar

Just because you haven’t been bought a car doesn’t mean people are shitty ffs.. your jealously is really showing. She’s your niece be happy for her😅😅

Avatar

this ! i was thinking also maybe the niece was raised with high standards? i’ve never been on a “coffee” dates, i was always taught to aim high so i thought gifts like this were normal. aside from that- if he’s a good guy she should just be happy for them

Avatar

I’m not jealous at all. I worked hard for my car and bought it brand new without a car payment

I just find it odd for someone to buy a car for someone else that they only dated for a few months. Sheesh 🙄

Avatar

Honestly, why do you care? You sound jealous.

Avatar

because it’s odd and the guy doesn’t make enough to buy her a car. She has a car that works just fine. I’m nowhere near jealous. It’s weird that a 22 year old buys a woman he barely knows a car

Avatar

Do they live together?

Avatar

no. She lives at home with her parents and so does he as far as I know.

Avatar

Oh then that’s a bit odd , I’m guessing that they have been together for many years and they plan on marrying each other one day 🤷🏾‍♀️

Avatar

nope. They met online in November 2024 and didn’t start dating til February of this year

I think it’s a bit strange and just screamed red flag to me because he’s a security guard at a casino. He can’t be making that much money to buy a 22 yr old a car. He took her out for an expensive dinner too. I get the fancy dinner. My husband does that stuff but to buy a car? It’s weird!

Avatar

If he doesn’t pay rent then he could have saved up for it , I didn’t start working until I was 23 so I can’t say. I’d be worried too. Hope her parents think it’s strange

Avatar

my sister had no idea about it. I ended up bringing it up nonchalantly and she mentioned other red flags about the guy so now I’m extra worried

Avatar

Hope your niece makes the right choice.

Avatar

sadly I don’t think she will. The things my sister shared is unbelievable. My niece definitely reminds me of my husband’s sister and not in a good way. My husband’s sister trusted the wrong people too.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
