    The thing is, is they’re always going to have a dedicated fanbase of parents who want to buy shit for their kids to keep them occupied for several hours a day so that they don’t have to participate in their children’s lives in any meaningful way.

        I can see that my reply was not taken very well, but I still stand behind it, even if it’s offensive to people, because I was raised by a parent that bought me toys in order to keep me occupied to prevent themselves from having to put any effort in to raising me

        I carry a bit of a grudge about that, and that’s why my response was offensively toned, Because I know that if it happened to me, then it’s going to happen to other people.

        If you were a better parent than my parents were, then my rant doesn’t apply to you, and good for you, and I’m happy that your children have such a good parent to raise them.
