More awesome still was the look on my teenage daughter's face when I told her this was a pretty advanced game out of the portable ones at the time.OMG no way.That's actually pretty awesome.
If he didn't he has shitty parents. At a very early age I was taught to be appreciative of any gift given to me. Something as mundane as socks I was appreciative of. I had parents at one point who were not working for over a year (dad was laid off and mom got hurt at her job). I knew of kids who were getting chemotherapy and were fighting for their lives. While I wanted a Nintendo badly, I also understood at an early age that money doesn't grow on trees, and that there is true suffering in this world. My parents taught me that.
I wouldn't agree. Children aren't just small adults
Yeah this little boy probably knows about that too.
I'll forgive the child for not being Jesus.
It's not about being Jesus. It's about being grateful for a gift.
Seems like you approve more than anyone else I've ever seen on this board, seeing as how you clearly see it as an opportunity for political points.
I guess I'm a bit more forgiving of a small child.
From the poster who starts random threads based on social media posts…
You didn't throw stones at Trump politicizing the holiday.
Ok, finally watched the video.
I’m going to blame the parents on this one.
There is no way that when a child that little asked for either a PC or a PS5 there wasn’t more conversation around the topic.
Why did the child want a PC/PS5? What did they want to do with it? Was there a particular game or some particular goal?
Seems to me that a parent only partially listened to their kid….heard “P” and jumped to the assumption it was a PS5 because that’s the popular game system this year.
Didn’t put much more thought into it than that
My kid, for example, would want the PC and would have no use at all for a PS5, as he’s not interested in playing console based video games (or really games in general).
My kiddo would thanked me for trying but also have asked more nicely to return and exchange it.
Was the kiddo slightly bratty? Sure. But I’m going to also guess that he’s maybe 5-7 years old and completely overstimulated in a room full of gifts. So, I’m forgiving of that.
I’m less forgiving of the “are you serious” and attitude from who I presume is Mom.

No, when in glass houses and all that.
Every kid is different
If you want to raise a selfish sociopath, then that’s exactly what you should do.
Every kid is different
He’s 9 and just got a 3D printer for Christmas. And is currently figuring out BlocksCAD to design his own unique items to 3D print on that same laptop.
Some kids are really into technology and using technology not simply for mindless game playing
(My son also has a Nintendo Switch and it sits collecting dust because he doesn’t like to play those type of video games at all)
