[QUOTE="Shari, post: 106435, member: 1848"] Go mom. I know it hurts and its hard, but sounds like Christmas is passing some boys this year, and I say kudos to you. difficult child 1 was very entitled and I recall the year he desperately wanted a particular brand and style of boot. I kept telling him that if he got that, that would pretty much be it, because they were very expensive. He didn't care, the list went on. He got the boots and 2 or 3 very small presents. It still breaks my heart to remember that day, because we handed him his gifts and the look on his face....and he said "that's it?". Yes, son, that's it. It made an impact at least on his gift lists and infinite expectations from me. It was probably my hardest Christmas ever, but it needed to be done, and it worked. [/QUOTE]
