My 2 boys have had it all. They have every games consoe going every new game that's come out. DS1 has had expensive phones the ist goes on. I suppose it's the same old saying 'I never had it when I was younger so I want them to.
DP has always been dead against them 'having it all'and always warned me I was making a rod for my own back.
They treat their games consoles like crap. Their expensive, sometimes £50.00 a go games, like junk, often finding them scratched and unplayable, have no concept of money, 'it's ony £100.00 mum ' 
.
DS2 has gone through christ knows how many phones. He often inherits mine when I get another one and he's in line to inherit my iphone when my contract is up.
Christ I was happy to get smellys as a child.
DS2 has just bent and threaten to break the new COD game we have just bought him.
Admittedy some of the stuff is out of their money they've saved from birthdays and christmases DS2 spending his on a laptop recently.
That has now broken and he is saving 'the money everyone gives him to buy another one' He isnt that bothered buy it as he spends his time on mine
I dont know what to do
AIBU to just buy them a couple of board games each for christmas instead of the hundreds of pounds we do spend on them only for them to wreck , destroy and not give a toss about anything of value.
