Can You Ever Do This For Your Children? by OfficialR(m): 1:55pm On Apr 01, 2021 |
Hello again So for the Easter holidays coming up I decided to go to my aunt's house after a long time. Now her children, a girl and a boy, both in SS1 and JSS2 respectively, have a computer each in their house. They also have unlimited internet connectivity Now because of this, they usually play an online game called Roblox. This game used to be interesting to me back when I was younger but it is no longer either because I got older or the game just got boring In this game, there is this in-game currency called Robux that you buy with real money (prices attached below). You use this Robux for buying special features in the game. Now my aunt bought £18.49 worth of this Robux for her son (I think the girl doesn't play the game anymore) which is about #10,000 Now this got me a little upset because I could think of 1001 things I could use that money for instead of buying a currency in a game that isn't even worth it Now I want to ask this question, would you purchase anything that costs this much in an online game for your children?

There is no issue with what madam did for her children. It's the holidays, allow the children relax unless u are telling us they are dullards...even dullards deserve to rest and entertain themselves Check out my store and purchase plenty things |

OfficialR: She can buy £10k game feature for her children it's not your business. You'll understand when you reach some level monetarily. 2 Likes |

HRHQueenPhil:But still that feels like a lot. Even back when I used to play the game, I always asked my parents for even the smallest price, they wouldn't. I'm not saying it's bad to buy things in a game online but still maybe not so expensive |
Re: Can You Ever Do This For Your Children? by OfficialR(m): 2:18pm On Apr 01, 2021 |
MufasaLion: Well I guess she has the money but maybe on a better game. That game isn't honestly that good. And if I ever told my parents those days, they would just laugh at me. Maybe once I start earning money by myself, I would buy something online myself and see how it feels |

You can buy it for them occasionally but they should not get used to it |

Exmilitant: Buying expensive things for kids doesn't make them morons. It depends on how you raise them. There are people that doesn't come from wealthy homes but they are still morons. Everything is based on how you raise your kid. 7 Likes |

mariahAngel:How e take be blackman way? Maybe you haven't met a thrifty white man. My friend, everybody dey run him life with certain philosophy. Personally, i wouldn't buy or permit my wife to buy (with real money) stuff for a game that isn't relevant. |

MufasaLion:It doesn't depend on how you raise them! Discard that thought. Recently, an 11year old girl was rushed to a teaching hospital. Did you know why? The young girl use the handle of a kitchen knife to deflower herself. Did you know why? Her father, a millonaire allowed her all the toys money could buy. Imagine a well guarded 11year old with an Iphone! Shun that mentality of, 'my children no go smell poverty'. Discipline in the long run pays off. |

Just say you want to introduce Robox.. |
Re: Can You Ever Do This For Your Children? by MufasaLion: 4:10pm On Apr 01, 2021 |
Exmilitant: That's not the point I'm making. I'm not against discipline. But I'm saying buying expensive toys for kids is not a bad idea. Someone that knows how the society is right now will definitely be cautious of how and what expensive toys to buy. You can still be disciplined and still give your kids expensive toys. Expensive toys can be educational, recreational or whatever. I know people that only buy their kids expensive educational toys and they still discipline them when needed. A kid for example that's interested in art can be given an expensive or affordable drawing pad and necessary tools to use to practice just to increase his/her skills. Only a foolish person buys expensive toys and raise children without discipline or moral. Especially on this world we are now. Thanks for sharing your ideas bruv. Stay safe 6 Likes |

It's her money. She can do whatever she wants with it, even if it's buying for her kids what you consider useless. E no concern you. When you have your own kids you can do whatever you want with them. 1 Like |

Exmilitant: Expensive toys is not the problem. It's how the kids are brought up. Kids that didn't grow up with much are not necessarily better. The street doesn't teach morals and manners. The ones who grew up in poverty still do worse than the privileged ones. Good upbringing should be emphasized 2 Likes |

Anyways, I play drugrunners and I pay for membership and also for the necessary tools/machinery for each elements I own. In addition, I buy stuffs when playing candy crush too. In essence, I wouldn't have problems doing same for my kids. I believe in being serious when needed and playing hard when needed as well. 1 Like 1 Share |
