Thank you for a word against the absurdity of too much baby stuff. I pride myself on how little I can spend; I never had a tenth of the things brainwashed parents think is essential. And I'm nauseated by the sea of plastic nonsense I encounter when I visit the homes of the clueless, programmed parents of children my son's age.
