A man is suing his parents for giving birth to him without consent. confused

This may just be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot of ridiculous things in my time wink)

Parents who threaten to disinherit their kids for not thinking as their parents- yes re Cherrytree's post. I've known people who have done that, hence my reaction.

honestly- I really do despise this. Think and do what I say- or no inheritance. Wow.
jura he didn't want to be born so why should he inherit anything from the people who conceived him - presumably through their own enjoyment?
How selfish grin

Leave it to the Cats and Dogs Home (Unless he has a more sensible sibling)

Methinks he wants his 15 minutes of fame

Or are you referring to Cherrytree's post? If so, I'm even more confused because she hasn't referred to anyone Thinking and doing what I say. What is it that you despise?

What do you mean Think and do what I say- or no inheritance. jura? confused I've read the article and can't see any reference to inheritance.

Yes MissAdventure, I agree! ?

Ah the old “I didn’t ask to be born” comment thrown at us by teenagers everywhere??‍♀️

jura2 Sat 09-Feb-19 19:23:17

I do know young people who said they wanted to sue their parents for voting 'leave'- but that is a different story ;)

Oh dear there is one born everyday. I hope my Daughter doesnt sue me for her inheritance of white hair.

Haha great idea MissAdventure

Caro57 Sat 09-Feb-19 16:56:01

Legally he didn’t exist until he was born so it sounds like a bit of a catch 22!

SueDonim Sat 09-Feb-19 16:35:31

Miss Adventure grin

Let's hope this chap never has any children of his own, otherwise he might one day find himself on the other end of the argument!

What a good idea - we could all do that if our parents were still here! Would it make us rich?

Jalima1108 Sat 09-Feb-19 16:05:02

What a wally... (with apologies to any Walters who may be reading this)
The Wally (Walter) I know can't read so I read it to him and he was very offended to be associated with this dipstick.

ps the Walter I know has four legs and a waggy tail.

With a son like that they deserve a medal, though I suppose it is they way they brought him up. Does he also intend to sue the midwife for keeping him alive?

NanaandGrampy Sat 09-Feb-19 14:34:26

The boys an idiot !

Does India have anything like our April Fools Day? This has to be either a joke or the ranting of someone mentally disturbed.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 09-Feb-19 14:03:02

Yes, he's very silly, isn't he? I remember during a row with my mum as a teenager, snarling as only an adolescent can, "I didn't ask to be born!" This takes general discontent with life to the enth degree.
In a decade or so he may look back on this realise how daft he is.

Mapleleaf Sat 09-Feb-19 13:53:58

I so agree Rosina!

Sheilasue Sat 09-Feb-19 12:24:05

Yes saw that on fb, very silly think he wants attention.

Twopence Sat 09-Feb-19 12:06:26

It's not April 1st is it?

Willow10 Sat 09-Feb-19 12:05:36

What a brilliant idea! Do you think I could sue my parents for giving me red hair? grin

Christalbee Sat 09-Feb-19 12:04:47

Aprtil Fool a bit early me thinks!!

Urmstongran Sat 09-Feb-19 10:52:51
