Your use of humor to tackle the highly flawed consumerist model of parenting is sure to do much more good than any number of internet articles or even books on the subject. You're bound to do a whole lot of good for all those kids whose parents get the message that time is worth more than things and that the need to impress others by conspicuous consumption is never healthy.

Perfect. And expensive strollers was number one on my mental list too!

French for many Canadian white parents, though the crazy language their grandparents spoke is good too. "Oh, Ashley can't come for the play date at Gymboree on Saturday, she's got Armenian class." Why? So an 8 year old can learn to say "glrkmzyz" with an authentic accent? 3. alternative schools 4. tupperware in public, usually loaded up with celery and carrot sticks (do children actually eat that shit?) 5. snackism. I'm pretty sure that when the progeny of the white parents reach the age where they can purchase their own snacks, that first Hostess Ding Dong will be such a shock to their system they will keel over and die on the first bite 6. lane parties.
