Kids these days…

Filed Under Thoughts

are being treated like celebrities. No? Fancy branded clothes, themed birthday parties with matching birthday invitations to go. I am telling you, its no wonder parents are getting poorer and there’s not enough to go round. Whats with the rising standard of living, we’ll be a pauper before we even turn 50!!

I say, forget about the GUCCI pants and Nintendos for your 7 year old. Go with the conventional Tesco brand of USD10 each and a good book or a game of football in the garden. Make believe games with toy soldiers. What? It won’t work you say? He is only 7, what is it that can’t work. We just have to be creative or if you have no creative juice…use the “I’m the parent, you are the child so you should listen to what I say” method. Whatever it is, you are the one with the cash (or lack of it) so in proper order, you should have the last word, no?
