[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 326615, member: 65"] If your easy child is any thing like mine, he'll have more guilt because you over-spent on him than he'd have enjoyment over the GPS. I think DF just voiced the guilt you were already feeling and made it stand out more. Don't add stress on yourself. Get him the new controller that you know he wants. If you want to do something special for easy child, write him a letter telling him how much you appreciate him and/or if you have time make him something special. My easy child gets a B-day gift every other year (from lack of funds) even though difficult children always get B-day gifts. easy child understands and would rather have things IF we can afford it than to have something that would add stress to our already stressful lives. Instead of gifts that can be wrapped up in ribbons and bows...he gets my time, my love, my respect, my admiration. These are things that easy child holds dear in his heart, things he'd rather have. If you are feeling more guilty for spending money that you don't have than you did when you planned just a little gift... you have your own answer. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
