One user commented, “And this is why I stopped living in Dubai…” suggesting a sense of disillusionment with the city’s ostentatious displays of wealth. Another user remarked, “Maybe you should consider helping those who don't have enough in life and teach your children the correct values of life?”
Further comments ranged from playful to critical. One viewer quipped, “No other games to play for children? What do they learn?” while another jokingly noted, “Don't be surprised if these kids paint their dad's car next time.” Others chimed in with humour, with one user suggesting, “They are waiting for a Ferrari lawsuit,” and another adding, “Watercolours. Easy cleaning with the first wash.”
