So "he" should not "be dissappointed" in something that happened long ago and was so trivial, when there are other matters that parents need to prioritize to provide their children, for example: a roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back, and so on, and his parents after all gave him life.
For the examples you gave, I don't consider those individuals "parents" because the term "parents" to me means people who are responsible at providing and nurturing a young child so they can grow up to be adults that can contribute to society, the examples you gave doesn't fit that discription, those are irresponsible so-called adults and criminals.
Anyway I can't see why someone would be dissapointed in something like that, when I was young and my parents wouldn't buy me certain toys, I simply did odd jobs like mow lawns in the summer and shovel snow in the winter, and when I had enough money, I rode my bike to Toys R Us and purchased it myself.
I got ya, I just never bought into the "parents deserve respect" thing. Those that earn it sure do. Anyway, yeah, I was hoping the OP meant that they're disappointed their parents didn't buy a bunch of toys for cheap when they could, and not that they were being ungrateful.
