advertising and marketing has made parents scared to NOT do or buy whatever theuir kids ask for. by making them feel that every one of their chuld's requests has to be fulfilled or else the kid will be mal adjusted or have traumas or some such bullshit they have managed to effectively place the CHOICES of childrearing, in the kids hands, kids, who are much more easily swayed by adverts and marketing and peer group pressure than the adults who are actually buying the kids their shit.
ever time I see a commercial where some fucking 8 year old kid is telling me what insurance to buy or what medicine I shoud use I fucking FLIP OUT and scream "I AM SICK OF FUCKING KNOW-NOTHING CHILDREN TELLING ME WHAT TO BUY!"
