    Agreed, looking at the article it is the parents or adults who are buying for the kids, or providing an allowance and the kids buy their own.

    This is what happens when generations are raised without the word NO because some numpty has decreed saying no harms children. There was a time when NO meant NO.

      I don’t think they’re raised with anything, not much yes either. My parents were really early Gen X, they fit the latchkey stereotype pretty well, and they had SUCH a laissez faire style of parenting that shocked me as I got older and compared more to my friends with boomer parents.
