Kids!
I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!
Kids!
Who can understand anything they say?
Kids!
They are so ridiculous and immature!
I don't see why anybody wants 'em!
Just you wait and see
Kids!
Kids! They are just impossible to control!
(Soon you'll be old enough to be)
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an' roll!
(Another teenage delinquent)
Why can't they be like you were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids to--
Kids!
What the devil's wrong with these kids today?
Kids!
Who could guess the they would turn out that way!
Why can't they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What's the matter with kids?
What's the matter with kids?
What's the matter with kids today?

Aye, spoiled rotten they are. The combination of, a growth of the middle class with their disposable income, easy credit, cheap imports, and advertising, have combined to make kids (and their parents) more materialistic.
But spoiling kids isn't a new idea, by a long shot.
Take a gander at these antique prams (carriages), not for children, but for the children's dolls.
They are each meticulously handcrafted, but of course back then everything was. Some may have been made by craftsmen for their own children but probably most were made for rich men to spoil their children. And they didn't even have a sexy Barbie doll to put in them.
Here's about 40 of them.
