There are endless amounts of toys we can buy our kids; they can literally want for nothing in this world. However, sometimes we come across a toy that seems too good to be true and that is usually because it is. A playset has gone viral on Facebook, and a lot of parents wanted to actually buy this for their children and were disappointed that it was not actually a real thing.
We are all familiar with Fisher-Price play sets, and the joy they bring children. Things like outdoor houses, kitchens and workshop benches have brought joy to children all over the world. However, this playset was a little different. It is a “Work From Home Playset” and it perfectly sums up parenting in 2020.
The playset was posted on the Facebook page, “The Professor Is In” and it has been shared over 9,000 times. The post also has over 4,000 reactions to it and over 600 comments. It looks like a really legitimate product, that it probably had people running to Target or Walmart to try and buy their own for their kids.
The box shows a young, and very frustrated looking, young girl sitting at a desk. It has a plastic laptop, a wine glass and two bottles of wine. It also appears to come with plastic snacks and a crying toy baby on the floor. Maybe the hope was that our children can pretend to live out what has been the reality for a lot of parents lately.
There were some comments that seemed to point out some inaccuracies in the toy. One person in the comment said that it was missing the cat who keeps trying to jump on the table and lay right on the laptop. Others pointed out that all of the coffee was missing, because that has seemed to replace water these days.
Someone else pointed out that they need to program the baby to throw a tantrum or cry at just the right moment, that would be as soon as mom or dad logs on to a Zoom meeting. At the end of the day, we all need a little laugher in our lives and this definitely provided it.
