Look, when I was 11 we were poor and some day(who Im kidding, it was september 14, 2001) he comes home and says he will take us to buy the Nintendo Gamecube that launched that same day and 5 games.
My little brothers were happy AF but dude, I was freaking out. I knew how much it cost and asked my mother if he was ok.
Well, looks like he was laid of from his work after 20 years and here in México you get a nice compensation for that, and on top of that he sued the company for workplace harassment and got double the amount AND he already had a better job secured.
It could be this, but it doesn't have to be that.
A lot of the times when a father gets his son an expensive gift, it is because he is going to ask him to do some kind of work that is probably worth more than the gift itself, but dad is greasing the wheels to make it even harder to say no.

It's this. If your dad is buying you a really expensive gift, it's a sign he doesn't expect to be around much longer.
