Default McChildhood

Dear Teachers,

A. If you want to teach your son that he can pester and manipulate you into giving him his way, then by all means get him a new car.
- "give him his way" means "give him what he wants", right?

B. Do your children have a McChildhood?
- What does "McChildhood" mean in this sentence?

Thanks a million

Namsteven

Default Re: McChildhood

A. Yes

B. McChildhood: the type of upbringing that may satisfy kids in the short-term, as all their immediate needs are met, but in the long-term leaves them ill-equipped to deal with some of the problems that they're bound to encounter later in life.
