That hits the nail right on the head. Parents don't know how to say NO to their kids anymore. Our daughter also watches plenty of TV. She sees plenty of ads. She sees products in stores. She sees movies that have a zillion product tie-ins. And she asks for things that she doesn't get. Why? Because WE, her PARENTS, the ones IN CHARGE, say NO, you can't have that.
Imagine that.
