Tell him kids are dumb and he'll forget about it in a few years. I don't have kids, so not sure how good that advice is.

- kilgnad 4y agoA few years is eons for a kid. The father here is wrong. Logic isn't an argument here. The iphone is an icon, a fashion symbol, his son wants it for cultural reasons. Logic DOESN'T apply to fashion. Whenever I hear an argument like this it makes me wonder how in touch with reality some people are. On hot days why don't men just don't wear pants and walk around with their dicks hanging out all day? There's no difference here, and overall you'll be cooler temperature wise then having to drape an extra piece of clothe called "shorts" over your crotch area. It's the rational thing to do. How do I convince society that I'm logically right? You don't. Just like you don't convince your kids to change the culture of his friend group. They like iphones... that's the culture you can't change. Let him wear some shorts for godsakes because currently the kid feels like he's walking around with his dick hanging out. .
- izacus 4y agoNo they won't, even here on Hacker News so called smart adults come out to claim their superiority for buying the right apply phone brand. Every single mobile thread is full of marketing on how Apple is the superior brand and how others are wrong for not buying it. If the adults are parroting the corporate marketing propaganda, how could children not?
- valar_m 4y agoYep, terrible advice, my friend. I know that because it's what my dad said to me at that age. It's been 20 years and I'm still processing the trauma of horrific bullying.
