[QUOTE="nlj, post: 673279, member: 17650"] I buy my son thick warm socks, a warm jumper and new boots each year. I don't see it as enabling (and anyway I accept his lifestyle now). They're practical, essential gifts that I would like to be able to give to every member of his community and all the homeless people I see on the freezing streets. They also make me worry a bit less about him, so they are selfish gifts too. Most of the year he makes do with nothing, so Christmas is an excuse for me to force something new and useful on him. I wouldn't give any frivolous gifts, and anyway he wouldn't want them. [/QUOTE]
