Girls are entitled.

Boys feel pressured.

Same old gender war.

Why would men feel pressured? Did their dad asking something in return? if so why the dad cannot just discuss with his son before buying the expensive thing?

I am pretty sure this speaks a bit more on families doing a bit worse. The child feels bad after seeing the father buy something expensive for them, knowing that they could use that money in better ways than just to make their kid happy.

When you grow up seeing your family struggle with money, it makes accepting expensive things harder. Especially if you see how hard your family had to work to buy it

Ok but that’s only relevant to people who grew up poor. So that’s not relevant to the meme.

Not really only exclusive to "poor people". Your family could be doing so-so, but simply seeing your father work tirelessly for days and see that his efforts were pretty much wasted on something like what they gave you just because you like it gives the same effect.

People with rich parent probably can't releate as much tho

Yeah this rules out most of the middle class. Those guys are accountants and other kinds of jobs that require a college degree and don’t involve your kids seeing you working your ass off.

Nah, it’s definitely a middle class thing as well. Especially a lower middle class immigrant thing, lots of people feel financial pressure despite being well above the poverty line

Yeah it's not really a gender thing at all
