[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever [b]not[/b] spent money on your kid and then bragged about it on social media?

This has come up in my social media feed in various contexts. Examples:

-Parents bragging about how they only bought one present for Christmas for their kids

-Parents bragging about how they don't pay for an extra bed for their toddler while traveling; instead they make a blanket bed on the floor of the hotel room.

-(This is pretty specific to my cultural heritage but) Parents bragging about how they only give their kids presents on La Befana (Jan 6) and not Christmas because it's "ridiculous" to celebrate "two whole present days" that are "so close together"

If you were a kid whose parents took pride in not spending money on you, what's your relationship with your parents like today? Did you get them the nicest nursing home, or did you post to social media saying "Medicaid nursing home is good enough for Mom! Maybe we'll visit next year if we have any spare credit card points after our couples' tour of Sicily."[/quote]

You are bizzare.  That may not be bragging.  Why would you pay an extra bed for a toddler.   That makes no sense.  And the one gift could be nice and what they want.  [/quote]
