[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to the suburbs, and they are everywhere. Some of the kids are in travel lacrosse and soccer and they are in FIRST grade. They all have the same exact huge white SUV. It was hilarious the other day because a few of them ran into each other at the grocery store and were talking obnoxiously about their vacations while standing in line at Aldi. Anyway, once I got to the parking lot, they were all talking and loading their groceries. They all have the exact type of car a HUGE white SUV. My first car in high school was a Prius. Dh wants an SUV but I am adamant about having a sedan. We have two kids, and it's fine. Do these people not care about global warming? We had an earthquake a week ago, killing thousands of people. Driving these huge cars is such a waste and global warming contributes to more earthquakes. I went from living in an apartment to this. It's such a big change. [/quote]
It sounds to me like this is a “you” problem.

Eavesdropping and getting upset about kids talking about their vacations at a supermarket is not normal behavior. I hope that you understand this.

I wasn't upset, nor was I eavesdropping. We were all in line and they were loud and I used my eyes in the parking lot. [/quote]

TIs a never ending competition to consume the most.  They are likely raising up some more good little consumers.  No one is born thinking they should drive a gigantic SUV.  Learned behavior.[/quote]

Yep. And these same kids are going around asking what iphone other kids have and what kind of leggings they wear. Just wait to the teen years OP, it only gets worse. And the same defensive parents will be defending all the money they waste on their kids then too. [/quote]

Absolutely.  I was raised to have to accept that I wasn't getting all the status symbols and make your peace with it.  And i raise mine the same.  I think this just goes though the generations.  You are kinda born on team lululemon in the SUV is important  or on team sorry no its not.[/quote]
