This is nuts. They should throw the father in jail for going through and being their lawyer on this ridiculous thing. Maybe a beating or two back in the day would have straightened their spoiled butts out?

"The alleged offenses include failing to take her daughter to a car show, telling her then 7-year-old son to buckle his seat belt or she would contact police, "haggling" over the amount to spend on party dresses and calling her daughter at midnight to ask that she return home from celebrating homecoming."

Their dad was the lawyer? Now that's a real American man (21st century style).

I'm glad the father had to pay the mother's legal costs.

If we institute 'loser pays' a lot of these frivolous suits will be history.

Entitlement is privilege.

The kids are learning entitlement.

"Among the exhibits filed in the case is a birthday card Garrity sent her son, who in his lawsuit sought damages because the card was "inappropriate" and failed to include cash or a check. He also alleged she failed to send a card for years or, while he was in college, care packages.

On the front of the American Greetings card is a picture of tomatoes spread across a table that are indistinguishable except for one in the middle with craft-store googly eyes attached.

'Son I got you this Birthday card because it’s just like you ... different from all the rest!' the card reads. On the inside Garrity wrote "Have a great day! Love & Hugs, Mom xoxoxo."

Oh that poor child! So neglected and emotionally abused by his wicked mother.

I wish people like this would have to step out in to the real world and let the world hand them their own ass on a platter.

And I cannot believe that TWO OTHER lawyers took this case. Just goes to prove that just because someone studies law and passes the bar doesn't mean they have any fricken common sense whatsoever.
