I was just talking to my sister about it and we disagreed. I said it's a divorced man who gives his kids a great time and every toy on earth when he has them. She says even a poor man can be a Disney Dad if he plays with them all the time and ignores the rules. I said I always thought it had to do with buying them stuff and taking them on vacations t hat Mom obviously can't afford along with the lack of forcing them to follow rules or do chores. What do you think? I have one more question too.
I live in a very middle class/working class town. My sister lives in a rich suburb and her boyfriend lives in a VERY rich suburb. According to her, it is commonplace for people in areas that have hockey as a big sport to have their own ice rinks built in their own back yards, and that you don't need to have money to have them. I said there are no ice rinks around here, except for the one that the kids play on for their games...and I chalked tha up to lack of money to build one???
We had the same g0-around about underground pools. She said you don't have to have money to build and maintain an inground pool. I said you do. Around here we have above ground pools, but maybe one very rich family has an in-ground pool. I think this family does have one. They also have a butler and a maid...lol. So am I just "out of it?" like my sister told me? I could be...One last question.
Do kids play LaCrosse in your area? I know it's big at college, but it isn't big for kids around her who are not in college. I am more inclined to believe that LaCrosse is maybe more common than I see, even in this working class area, but because my kids never played it, maybe I don't know.
So, good-naturedly (this is a fun thread) am I wrong? What do YOU think? It seems like my sister and I live in a different worlds and she is always trying to convince me that her world is the real world. But, truly, her suburb is very wealthy. Is mine just really poor and deprived? LOL.
Does a Disney Dad have to necessarily give his kids all the toys? That was our biggest disagreement
