As someone who came from a dirt poor background I was very conscious of asking my parents for something they could afford (if asking at all) & not ever showing disappointment if I didn't receive it.

I can't imagine what kind of vile creature would deliberately put their parents in the position of feeling like failures because they couldn't give their child what they asked for.
