Ahh yes the ever popular “I was sooooo pooooooor”. Meanwhile as an American you did then and still do now own stuff you don’t need. It’s just part of who we are and whining that somebody else has something they don’t need is hypocritical and silly.
I never whined that somebody else has something they do not need. I do not think it is responsible parenting to give a 10-year old a “smart” phone is all.
I was so poor that I grew two stomachs so I could regurgitate my food and eat it twice for its nutritional value.
