I need advice
Well, let me start off with this, I am a very defiant person and no one is really my boss. I am my own master. I CHOOSE to listen to someone, like a parent. I mean, isn't that the best mindset? Survival comes first? lol ANYWAY, today, my dad is going to take a business friend's child out to go golfing. The reason here is that the kid's dad is in China. The kid is totally new to golf, and well, I'm in the high school team, so the dad(who is in china atm) is always trying to get me to play with his child to "improve his golf". Now, my dad is trying to get me to go since he says it'll be "weird" if he golfs with the kid alone. Now I know he says he's just trying to help out the kid, let the kid get some exercise. He also says that it's good business, so the business friend will be nicer and give him (for lack of a better word sorry) more "business. The reason I don't want to go, is like I said earlier, I'm very defiant, and the thing is, when MY dad was out of town, that business friend TOTALLY ignored us. My mom had to ask a bunch of friends to help us out with bringing me to school etc. So now I'm wondering, why should I help that kid when his dad did NOTHING for me when I needed it? It's not the kid I don't like, its the kid's father. Just got that rant off my chest, what do you guys think?
tltr: Should I help out this guy's child when that guy never even bothered to pay attention to me?

Yeah, I guess you do have a point. It's true it's not that kid's fault. Maybe I will help that kid out.
@Nashi:
Well, I guess. It's the father of that kid where the fault is at. So why should I punish others who aren't involved? I see my flawed logic now, thank you! And sorry for seeming like a jerk, I'm just a little upset about some other things as well. This is actually all my fault for magnifying a small issue well I think I know what I'm going to do now thank you for helping me see what's wrong!
EDIT: The thing is, I'm okay with helping out the kid and my dad. Just that, I don't want the father to think it's okay to be like that to other people and get away with it. What should I do?
Wow you sound really self-centered and your mindset isn't the best either. Humans work best when they cooperate.
And you're basically punishing that kid (which didn't choose to have that dad and didn't make that dad ignore you) and your dad (who's not at fault for it either).
You don't want to support TWO humans that have NO control over other people like that because YOU didn't get attention from ONE guy.
Don't you think that's egoistic and messed up?
Seriously now.
Edit: Your mindset seems to force you into a loner-position. Your sense of fairness is messed up.
You're not really doing that guy a favor, you're doing your own goddamn father and that child (that's left behind by his dad, mind you) a favor.
I honestly have no positive words for this, sorry.
First of all, WHY GOLF?
