[QUOTE="CCRidr2, post: 44505, member: 3714"] I actually did that at X-mas (they all know Santa is us). He completely ripped apart a stuffed animal that easy child 1 got for her 3 yo cousin as part of her gift because she wouldn't lend him a book or some such nonsense. husband's family is so big, 7 sibs, that we draw names. This was her first year buying presents with her own money from babysitting and she was sooooo proud! She went a little overboard but it was worth the look on cousins face when she saw it all. I told him that because we were so short on cash (not a lie, payday was another week away) that in order to replace it before X-mas (2 days) we would have to take back one of his gifts. I did! That Zathura board game that you wanted soooo bad, GONE. Took him and easy child 1 with me to the store and returned it and let easy child 1 choose a new stuffed animal, all within his sight! IT DIDN'T FAZE HIM!!! I WAS ASTONISHED!!! ANY OTHER KIDS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TEARS, SOBBING! He had been asking for it for MONTHS! NOTHING! NO REACTION WHATSOEVER!!!!!!! UGH! Sorry, went for a little vent there didn't I? [img]:whew:[/img] When I said nothing works, I really meant it. [img]:faint:[/img] Cyndi [/QUOTE]
