Why does your child need 34 or 35 toys? She can be happy with just one or two toys.

“Why don’t you just live like you’re destitute? So ungrateful?!”

How many toys do you have?

  • So many that I can't play with all of them, most of them are broken, and I don't have time to fix them, so I get really depressed because they aren't usable when I want to play with them. Now I'm trying to get rid of most of them.

"Back in my day, we had a cardboard box and a stick and didn't complain ..."

  • Now you'd get CPS called for the stick.

    Mostly sarcastic, but I don't think it's a hot take to realize that the curtain has shifted substantially over the decades in terms of how to raise a child.
