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.Do you think that kid understands that he was doing something wrong?
I wouldn't agree. Children aren't just small adultsIf he didn't he has shitty parents.
Yeah this little boy probably knows about that too.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'll forgive the child for not being Jesus.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.
It's not about being Jesus. It's about being grateful for a gift.I wouldn't agree. Children aren't just small adults

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.Yes the burning of a woman to death by an illegal immigrant only days after the governor of New York told us the subways are safer.
Was a scientific survey done of how many approved, disapproved and what political leaning they have?
I guess I'm a bit more forgiving of a small child.It's not about being Jesus. It's about being grateful for a gift.
From the poster who starts random threads based on social media posts…I'm not sure why you think random comments on social media are worth its own thread or that it's indicative of anything.
Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now
This is coming from the party that kept telling us they were the protectors of democracy from Trump. It's clear that the Democrats were really talking about themselves when they warned us about authoritarianism.
You throw stones at one but not the other.
You didn't throw stones at Trump politicizing the holiday.I throw stones at all. After all, we are a failed species.

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.
Stupid thread.
Next!
IMHO, this should never have been a thread.

No, when in glass houses and all that.Whataboutism by post #6.
Do you think that kid understands that he was doing something wrong? You don't have it out with the kid in the middle of unwrapping gifts was your feelings got hurt it's supposed to be the grown up. I'm so glad I had good parents. I got a Christmas present that was a substitution and I was mad at Santa when I was a kid and it was explained to me that maybe Santa got confused and maybe this is just as good or maybe even better and it wound up being making a scene to try and appease some sort of video and try and get people to say oh what a brat maybe you're just not understanding the kids.
Again maybe the kid is thinking Mom and Dad should be mad at Santa too. He is clearly too young for gaming PC.
Every kid is differentNo 6 year old should be getting a PC.
If he doesn’t want the PS5, I’ll take it.I actually expected the MAGAs to criticize the child for acting this way. Nope! At least some of them are full-on endorsing this behavior! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised considering how their Dear Leader behaves.
If you want to raise a selfish sociopath, then that’s exactly what you should do.What makes you think those people are MAGA?
Anyway, you can't get "gaming PC", at least not one that's any good, for the price of a PS5.
If that kid were my son, I'd return the PS5. It's what the little snot wants, after all.
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)
