My son is 14 next month.
We are discussing what he would like as a gift, with a budget of around £50.
He is complaining we won't buy him a Wii you ( Wii U?) . He says we clearly have plenty money so the £50 guideline/limit is "unfair " as all his friend get bought stuff like a Wii you.
I am so sad he has this attitude. He has never shown this before. Is this normal? I have suggested we give him £50 and he can earn money doing chores at the rate of £3 an hour for us and his grandparents ( they suggested this a long time ago but he never took them up on it) but he says no!!!
He is really feling hard done by and I am frankly flabbergasted. His dad says this is typical of kids these days.
Surely not?? What's the solution?
no gift at all for the ungrateful brat ?
