[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 106503, member: 3626"] Sorry, I can see taking Christmas from an older teen, but not a little one. Your one son is only 5 years old. The other is only 8. They're awfully young to even remotely connect calling you names with Santa not coming. What reason would they have for ever behaving if something as big and important as Christmas is removed from their lives. You have a child who is truly not in control of himself. Yes, he's not nice and there are immediate consequences that can be doled out for disrespect, etc. Taking away Christmases, birthdays, vacations and the like will, in my opinion, only hurt you more in the long run. I doubt either of your sons will ever forgive you for this. I hope you reconsider and let Santa come and give them Christmas back. It will be a lot of work, but could be very magical if you put the tree and at least some of the decorations back on Christmas Eve. If you got them a lot of gifts, it certainly wouldn't hurt if many of those were returned and leave just the necessities (clothes, undies, etc.) and one toy for each of them. Please don't do something you will ultimately regret. [/QUOTE]
