Why the snark? Maybe you should be happy that there are still parents that are teaching their children to accept responsibility and not encourage them to go for the freebies. Maybe I should tell my husband to quit working so hard because the whole idea of paying for stuff is overrated
It’s very clear you’re quite bothered about a company’s generous and charitable reply to one little boy.
The generosity of others is no threat to the generous minded.
The charity of others is no threat to the charitable.
If it bothers you this greatly, perhaps you should write the family and make your concerns known.
Please, get a hobby.
