Super Stroller Vs Cheap Ass Stroller
You are walking at the shopping complex, playing with your kids, do the window shopping thing, everything goes smoothly, until you bumped into other mom with her gigantic, expensive super stroller. Your eyes will not blink even once until that RM5000 stroller is out of your sight. You adore the amazingly crafted design, super high chair for the child and mother comforts, the hi tech specs and the most important thing, the brand.
What is the downside of your cheap stroller? Nothing wrong with your RM200 stroller, it is just a matter of wealthy symbol status( in a domestic kind of way). This new age of living, a stroller is like a handbag to all moms and a car to dads out there. The bigger the better. The highly branded, the best! When those super stroller pass by you at the shopping mall, they left you with an empty feeling, angry because you can't afford to have it and envy of the person who owned it.
Imagine that you have the all-moms-wanted super stroller. You push your child along the passageway at the shopping complex, you bumped into other mom's stroller, with a RM5000 shiny stroller, you will smile with confidence ( for other moms, they will call it a boast). Just like a handbag, you need not say much about the brand. As soon as other moms could read the brand that stated on your super stroller, everyone knows who won on that passageway. Its like a stroller's brand competition. You cannot and will not able to change that the urge to compete with the stroller's brand while on the roads or malls.
Living in this everything-is-expensive era, with a paycheck that amount less than RM5000 per month for example, of course you cannot afford to have such super stroller for your kids. Groceries and clothes are way more important than to have a branded super stroller. By the end of the day, it is just a chair with wheels that you need to push your child around the places. When your children grow up, that super stroller will be left behind just like other cheap stroller. Nothing is different between them.
You just have to put that envy away from your thought and chin up with your humble stroller. Trust me, your kids did not even realised the difference between a super stroller or a cheap stroller that they are sitting on the moment you push them. Its you that makes the kids life valuable, not the brands that you have given them.
