To get a child of 7 for Christmas their own Xbox, tv & DVD player bla bla bla. Saw it on thread about what people are getting their kids got Christmas. Is it me or is this madness?

why does spending lots on your children = them being brats? does having more money than others mean you have less parenting skills? Confused

PickledFanjoCat · 15/11/2012 18:51

It's so vile I just vomited on my screen.

Actually I am Envy I'd love to have all that just for meeeeee.

valiumredhead · 15/11/2012 18:52

Yes it does tired and it makes them rude and ungrateful because EVERYONE knows if you spend money on your children that's what happens.

TiredBooyhoo · 15/11/2012 18:53

i have no money. that must make me a brilliant parent

monkeyfacegrace · 15/11/2012 18:54

Or...maybe, we have lots of cash as we waited until we could afford kids before having them? Thus being older and wiser, and most certainly better parents.

^^
Yeah, that was bollocks, I was a teenage mum. But still, meh.

I think it's a bit vulgar, yes. But not vile.

OwlLady · 15/11/2012 18:55

I just don't know howthey don't lose it all
my son, the one I mentioned, loses everything. If I bought that list I would be fuming/grey/in prison because of it. I bought him a lookalike superdry form tkmaxx (benza something) and he lost that in the first week Hmm found it again mind

though tvs and xboxs harder to leave on your peg i assume, or on the bus

missymoomoomee · 15/11/2012 18:55

I have no money and I am up to my eyes in debt, I think you may find I am the superior parent here Tired
