Is it really such a big deal that they're getting a few items free? I'm sure they didn't write in to ask for them, and could most likely afford them on their own. I really don't get why this is such a huge deal.

In other words, seemingly model parents are getting criticized for being debt free and raising their kids in an enviable environment where their siblings love and help them.
My Dad was one of 8, my mother in law one of 13 - they'll both tell you they had happy childhoods (despite growing up in the Depression and war years).
