I know it’s awful but does anyone else besides me get just the tiniest feeling of glee when one of those outrageously expensive and super trendy baby products gets recalled for safety reasons? I live in CT and there’s a shopping area not far from me where all the snobby SAHMs stroll along with their 700-1200 dollar strollers, babies all dolled up in Janie and Jack or whatever All-organic trendy boutique outfit they found, etc. They sit at Starbucks and chat about how they have already filled out applications for thier 3 month olds to attend the best pre-schools around, blah-blah-blah…
Don’t get me wrong, I think a lot of expensive baby things are very nice. I would certainly buy all organic clothing and specail cloth diapers (but not at a pop) if I could afford them… but it’s the way they carry the babies around like a fashion accessory and look down on someone who can’t afford to spend on an all organic outfit for their child to outgrow in a month!
I believe in doing what I can for the environment and my priority is keeping my 8 month old daughter happy and healthy. I make her foods at home from scratch and use organic whole grains and fruits and veggies but I do it for her health, not to tell my snobby friends I am doing it. (Besides it ends up saving me money in the long run, LOL.
So… anyway, back to my point… every once in a while it’s just so satisfying to see one of their super trendy strollers or something like that get a big recall. Anyone else feel this way? And no, it’s not a jeallousey thing. I was raised to spend wisely and to appreciate what I have. I’m not poor but I am a single mother and I watch my money.
