[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious. Who knew letting your baby have a little fun could outrage so many. There are so many things to be disgusted about. This is not one if them. [/quote] I haven't seen anyone (well, hardly anyone) complain about babies having fun or eating cake. The trashy part is spending lots of money for said fun, when not necessary. That is more like conspicuous consumption. [/quote] I'm seriously stuck on the idea that, when Thorstein Veblen invented the idea of conspicuous consumption, he was talking about a birthday cake for a one-year-old's birthday party. Now if the OP's sister had ordered a hazelnut dacquoise from Patisserie Poupon specifically for the purpose of taking pictures of her one-year-old sticking its face into it, that might be different. But I'm guessing that the OP's sister didn't. [/quote]
