Okay, this made me laugh. And then I died a little, because I believe there are a ton of parents out there who actually buy their small children very expensive shit.
- Will my son ever have an ipad? Maybe by the time they're not even cool, anymore.
- A cell phone? Maybe a track phone when he's about 13, and I need to constantly check up on him. Or I could let him ride his bike home from wherever he's at, every hour, to check in. That's what I used to do.
- A laptop? Depends on if it's necessary for school. And if that's the case- shouldn't THEY provide one? What are my taxes paying for, exactly?
You get the idea. Kids are spoiled. Including my own. I use the excuse, "He's an only child, so it's easy to spoil him." Like, "oops.... I accidentally just bought him everything he wanted. hmp. How'd that happen?!"
I think some people's mindsets are "I want my kids to have it better than I did." That's great and all, but, why? I mean, I turned out pretty great, (hehe) so obviously what I had, or didn't have, was just enough, right?
Get it together people!
