I feel like a big cause for the people who dig their heels in about these topics were raised with the "I had to do it the hard way, so you can to" and are perpetuating the same thoughts.
"I never got support during X, no one else needs it either" kind of thinking. Not saying it's okay, obviously, but it seems to be a common theme for why there's a few people who are just so adamant against people feeling better about stuff.

Reply to comment by jnmann in LPT: If you are hurting this year for money and you don't have a lot for your kids for Christmas/holidays, hide what the gifts you have, make a treasure hunt with clues and riddles, and stretch it out to give them a great experience. by pinheadbrigade
Do I remember a single toy or gift I got as a child at family Christmas? Not one bit. What I do remember back then is spending all day getting to play Scrabble and UNO and other games with my aunts and uncles.
