Son is 16, best friend is 17, they go to the same high school. Best friend’s family’s wealthy. He bought son a brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max & a pair of AirPods Pro 2, so they can “match”. Son’s obviously very happy, but I think it’s a bit too much. I called the parents and they said it’s fine, it’s just pocket change.

    sounds like pride, probably either dont want to be seen as “poor” recieving handouts, or getting stuff for free/gift you dint buy yourself.

    its a little different if they are gifting and the wealthy family thinks your poor and needing a handout, but its not in this case, this would be insulting your intelligence, and kinda mean.
