Americans have too much money and too much stuff.

25. It's getting worse with Social Media and starting much earlier also

babies and very young kids don't care what they get . It's when the kids start getting a little older that they have demands. So at younger ages parents can get away with not getting them much without any trouble .

But now there is social media and people wanting to put on huge fancy parties for kids that are so young they wont even remember it . And guests feel like they have to get something special .

I would also bet there are far less cases of kids getting clothing handed down to them from older siblings or other relatives close friends. Because parents want the new trendy crap for babies to show off on their social media. The thing they bought 2-3 years ago when the first one was born is now out of style so they can't use that for the new baby .
