[QUOTE="Andy, post: 226370, member: 5096"] May be too late for this year, however for next year: Just a thought - it seems that your difficult child is more into the quantity rather than the quality? If you went to the dollar tree and bought a bunch of gifts there I wonder if it would be easier on him? Or, does he have a plan for ALL the gifts? Does he demand all his wishes being granted on this one day of the year (besides birthday?) If so, my plan will not work. This year you might be able to explain to him that you had so much money to spend and decided to put it into one gift. However, since he is a difficult child and obsessed in his world, he probably won't understand. For the kids who are disrespectful during gift opening, I think it would be o.k. to stop the event and say, "O.K., presents are done. People spent lots of love and time picking these out for you. Since you obviously don't want them, I will not allow you to torture yourself. Give me what you have opened and I will take them and the unopened down to Salvation Army. I am sure there is someone out there who will appreciate them." [/QUOTE]
