[QUOTE="Jeppy, post: 287422, member: 7564"] It sounds like your wm is in the midst of what my family counselor called "adolescent egocentrism", only with difficult child's like everything else it seems to be more extreme. I've been thinking about the whole gift-giving thing myself after also not getting so much as a verbal "Happy Mother's Day" or anything for my birthday or Christmas, and it's not like my difficult child's grandma didn't remind him of these special days. There are adult family members who prefer not to exchange gifts; I'm thinking this is the way to go with my difficult child also? He does need to prepare for adulthood which involves mutuality. Other times I think I might get him something practical like clothing which he could use anyways rather than cash/electronics that he always asks for. [/QUOTE]
