Dear...dear friend who has no chidren of his own, is a complete sweet heart but indulges my DS far too much.....we were in the process of negotiating a pair of PT trainers for xmas £50ish a pair and highly sought after by DS and his buddies....
So my friend takes DS out yesterday after school and for tea and whilst out he buys DS the PT's!!!!!
Soooooooooo when they came home I explained what had gone on before but didnt want to appear ungrateful....DS shhepishly did insist that he hadnt nagged for PT's....friend admitted he had been indulgent....
BUT I was sooooooooooooo pissed off....this has happened before with an Ipod touch xmas present that I had specifically said not to get him and other things....I feel increadibly ungrateful but as I had tried to explain tod my firend today.....you cant keep indulging kids and DS is getting incredibly materialistic and also not appreciative of what he has...I have asked friend Not to do this again please.
Oh and not to mention it really upsets DP as he feels exactly the same way about it as I do.....we dont let our kids take things for granted, will stop writing now as im rambling
