One of the reasons I don’t eat at McDonalds is that I really dislike the agressive marketing towards young children but I am finding that getting children to guilt trip parents into buying stuff is becoming more and more predominant, especially at Thomas and Cameron’s school.
Over priced books that the kids really really really want are the prime culprit but next Friday they are having a “Mother’s Day Stall” where the kids can come in and buy mum a gift, all in the $5 – $10 range. We’re supposed to send a pair of six year olds off to school with money so they can buy affection!
What happened to the days when schools made crafts at school and mothers received a hand drawn card?
I for one am always happy when I get things like that from the children and Lia feels the same way.
