[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 7623897, member: 619324"] The question is, in hard times is it ok for parents to take away some of the child's luxuries? The answer is an overwhelming yes. No matter how much you want to spoil your kid, it doesn't make it the gold standard for parenting. Thank your lucky stars you have that option. You don't know these people or know what it takes to keep the house and put food on the table. They might need their smart phones. They earned that money and it is theirs. If they are scaling back that is their choice. It's not mean. Your logic says that all poor people are terrible parents. I would have to tell you to look at the old days. People were dirt poor and raised on farms. Their mothers made their clothes etc. Those people all turned out to be good, hard working americans for the most part. Now fast forward to the kid that had the nice car as soon as he turned 16 in high school. Look where he is now. In most cases he's a piece of crap failure. [/QUOTE]
