    My nephew has talked about how lucky some of his friends are because they get more robux from their parents than he does and how he wishes his parents would give him more “nice things” like that.

    This is a kid who has been to disneyland multiple times and has gone on multiple cruises before he was a decade old. They have a big trip basically every summer, but he doesn’t want any of that, he just wants more robux.

      he’s a child. he has no idea want things cost or what they are worth.

      all he knows is the intense urge to get more robux

      and disney was probably more about his parents. my parents made me go to disney twice even though i had no interest and told me what an ungrateful shit iw as the entire time. it was never about me. it was about them.

      i was happier hanging out win the woods with my friends, or even alone, than going to disney. i hated it.

      ironically i wanted to go six flags but my parents never took me, even thought it was in driving distance and way cheaper… because everything was about them. the rides were so much better.
