kid A (because everyone's parents wont join the plan): What did you get for Christmas?

kid B: nothing, no Christmas this year

kid A: huh, what you mean no Christmas?

kid B: because justice

eventually kid B winds up feeling like shit

all Im saying is this sounds cool on paper but it's a lot for a child's mind to compute and for you to expect them to accept

Biggie was in his 20's talking about "used to fuss when the landlord dissed us/wonder why Christmas missed us", looking back like "we were broke". kids cant go from "be good, Santa is coming" to "Michael Brown got killed, Santa has our chimney on the no fly zone"

it's bigger than you when it affects your kids' potential happiness
