I think it’s also the younger users here don’t know/remember the time when all Boomers flipped their shit and thought Beanie Babies were THE ONE TRUE investment strategy. They didn’t watch their parents blow their entire retirement fund on a scam. Instead they were the ones that actually got to play with them, so naturally they look back on them fondly.

Everyone’s saying so the parents don’t have to worry, but there’s also an evolutionary / natural selection aspect to it. Those that ensure their kids had kids are more likely to successfully ensure their genes are passed on than those that don’t. Also, grandparents can help alleviate the burden of raising a child and allow parents to make even more kids
