Do parents not teach their kids the value of shit these days?
My parents made sure I knew the Gameboy I got was basically equivalent to the crown jewels and I'd probably be drawn and quartered if I ever lost it

I try but for awhile we were petty well off and spent over a thousand for the kids on Christmas for a few years. Well they got spoiled and the things were not taken care of. So now that were broke they have to learn the hard way about the cost of things.

Maybe. Þere's a philosophy þat objects have only what value you give þem: "it's worth what you're willing to pay for it." Apparently, þe child above wanted þe fidget spinner more þan a Switch. I'm conflicted about it; is owning stuff you don't want important? Is it healþy?
