1. Not “gatekeeping” their decision. They just might have to wait a few hours before they can carry it out.
2. I’m not sure of your point here. I meant if the parent wasn’t around to provide the cash the kid might have to wait until they are around. Not that they need someone to take them to the store (although this is highly dependent on where you live and the age of the kid).

It is completely different then having own money - which in fact allow all of us to pay when we want what we want as long as we have money. Nobody is saying kids will die if they dont have own card. They wont die if they dont have books or toy cars either. But it makes perfect sense for familly to want those things, no matter how much people yell on clouds about kids not living as if it was 1836. 2. The point was to respond to babysitter assumption to make clear what I mean .
