$68.95? Geeez, even that’s too high! I think I only paid about $25.00 for a high chair 6 years ago. Who pays $68.95?

It’s called garage sale and washing machine. Pay like $25-$40 and clean the thing up with clorox wipes and disinfectant. Anyone who pays 200+ for a high chair that the kid will use for less than 2 years is retarded and has money to burn.
THE WHITE PARENT SAYS:
“Garage sale? What’s that?”

I found your blog a couple of days ago and I must tell you that I love it!
I am not white nor am I a parent yet, but I aspire to be a White Parent when my time comes. Thank you for the great information - I read your blog with great enthusiasm as an essential part of my mom-to-be research. Because of you, people will envy me for my hip, motherly style, and, therefore, I will be the most perfect White Parent on my block!
THE WHITE PARENT SAYS:
“Thank you. That’s very nice of you. But you’re obviously too sweet to be a white parent. Please work on that arrogance. For practice, try dealing with any of the shoppers or clerks at a Nordstroms or a Bloomingdales. Good luck in your studies!”

I don’t have a kid but if business goes well, I will invest in one of these high chairs
THE WHITE PARENT SAYS:
“It’s either that or Google stock — they’re both about the same price these days.”

Question for White Parent: I was raised before the time of Sweedish highchairs but my white mother can’t get over the fact that she didn’t give my brother and I the childhood we deserved. Anything we can do to ease her pain
THE WHITE PARENT SAYS:
“No. There’s nothing you can do to ease her pain. But you most certainly can work that guilt! Convince her that she can make up for a lack of swedish high chairs in your youth by footing the down payment for a brand new Prius! The sheer greed of this ploy will convince her that you are well on your way to becoming a solid member of the white parent community (even if SHE wasn’t).”

“Including shame”
Hilarious!!!
Imagine that. I wish when I was younger my mother had the money to waste on an almost $300 high-chair. It must be made of platinum.

How about just putting the baby on the floor?!

“Are you kidding me? That carpeting cost us a fortune!”

Our highchair, that lasted through my two kids AND four nieces and nephews, cost $35.
