Why don't my parents want to buy me stylish clothes?

I think we should first explain, Antoine, that you call “stylish clothes” the designer clothes that you constantly ask your parents for. As well as other things, including a game console, which you tell me is worth two hundred euros.

Your parents, like many others, refuse a large part of your requests, and I believe, after having read you, that it is time that you understand why.

I had the impression, reading you, of seeing a 3-year-old child who, in front of a Christmas window, dreams that all the toys he likes go through the window, and arrive in his arms. Thinking that, at 3 years old, is normal. When you're little, you don't know real life. We believe that everything is magic, and that we will be able to own everything that we find beautiful: toys, but also the birds that pass in the sky or the stars. And then we grow. And we understand that we can want everything, but that we cannot have everything. Because the things we want cost money. And that money is something that we always have in limited supply.

I believe, Antoine, that your parents should explain to you very seriously (by talking to you about the amount of their salaries, the amount of the rent…) what money is. This would allow you to grow, in your head, by understanding for example what two hundred euros represent (what it allows to pay, when you are not buying a console).

And I think it would also be important for them to subscribe to a newspaper (like Le Petit Quotidien for example), which explains the news to children your age. You are a smart boy. You can therefore, if you are helped, be interested in something other than the possession of all that glitters.
