To be honest, I feel like it's actually kind of ridiculous to take raising our children to that type of extreme. I just reverse image searched that house and it's worth $12,000. I'm not about to spend that kind of money on toys for my child to teach them home owner's insurance. If you really wanna do that, are you also going to be painfully realistic and teach them the pain of going bankrupt and living on the street if they lose that house? That's too much for a child to take in at such a young age. Forget it.

Nobody said anything about spending $12,000 dollars on a play house. It'd be a rather useful incitive plan to simply make sure your kids know what they're doing 18 years down the road. You need to make sure they're prepared. That's what a good parent does. Also at some point, you'd have to buy your kids some toys whether you want to or not so I just feel like if you're going to buy them toys, you should buy them toys that teach them things.

Johnny: Hey, Bobby, look what my mom and dad got me.
Bobby: What the fuck is that?
Johnny: A make believe real refrigerator. Wanna play?
Bobby: Nah. I'm going home to play on my X-Box like all my other friends have. See you around, dude.
Johnny: Mom, Dad, I want an X-Box like all the other kids have.
Parents: Now, Johnny, we're just trying to teach you...
Johnny: GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

Parents: Well, it looks like it's working. Did you see little Johnny playing with the cute neighbor girls, dear?

Johnny: Guys, guys, hey, let's get in to tub naked and join the other dudes.
Guys: Right behind you, Johnny.
Johnny: Tom, not so close behind. HeHeHe

Johnny: Parents, meet my date to the prom, Jack.
Parents: Hello, Jack. Did you have neat adult toys when you were a kid?
Johnny: Parents, please. You'll make him blush, albeit I just love it when he blushes.

Parents: Dear, it's so peaceful us rocking on this front porch without any grandchildren to ever worry 'bout.
Parents: Unless Johnny and Jack adopt, that is, then we'll buy the cutie adult toys to play with.

I don't know if you were implying children get negative influences around them, but if you were then that is a great point to make. I for one approve the idea of "adult toys", and possibly making sure my child only speaks to specific kids. I don't want negative impacts on my kids at all. Xbox doesn't teach you anything.
