Default Homes with Infants

I see a lot of parents strolling around with their newborns or very young children and I also notice that a lot of these folks also have their children dressed in extremely expensive clothing and shoes.

Don't get me wrong I know that every parent wants their children to have the best possible. Though right now money is getting harder and harder to come by. So seeing parents spend you know $75.00 on a pair of shoes for their child which can't even walk yet is just in my personal opinion a waste of money.

That $75.00 could be saved for maybe a college fund, or paying a bill or something along those lines. Why buy kids something that is very expensive when they themselves are clueless that they are wearing a pair of Nike shoes or not.

This is something that tends to irritate me because I know of a few people who tend to do this kind of thing for their children, yet barely manage to pay their utility bills or buy groceries.

Honestly I just want to walk up to these people and slap them upside the head and ask them where they left their common sense!!!

Come on why spend that kind of money on shoes for babies,Their shoe size will change every couple of months.My kids never even wore out a pair of shoes until they were about eight years old.

That is when their feet stated to slow down the growing process.I love my kids and wanted the best for them,but I am telling you save the money when they are that small,because when they get older believe me they are going to want more expensive things and are going to be pretty persistent about it.

I see this kind of stuff so much and it really makes me want to just slap the shit of out the parents and ask them why in the hell they are wasting so much money on crap that the kids don't even care about??

It really upsets me that parents are so worried about their newborns being seen in less expensive clothing.

Right now money is extremely hard to come by and even more difficult to hold on to, yet there are some who would rather not pay the utility bills so that their 2 month old can have a pair of Nike shoes or some fancy bib.

Its really irritating that people do this crap.
