[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 490116, member: 11791"] Slsh's approach is more along the lines of what I was thinking. We've never tied behavior to birthdays. Birthdays are about relationships... and building positive memories. I don't know your kid, but here's a take-off on what we did last year (a tough year...) He likes X-box? Get him all sorts of stuff ABOUT X-box. But not x-box games. Like... - x-box-themed mug, t-shirt, jammies, pillowcase... - x-box books - tips, tricks, history... - x-box-themed birthday cake... This way, you're not feeding the current issue (more new games), but you are acknowledging his primary interest, and its harder (not impossible, just harder) for the kid to get mad when you've bought into his favorite topic.
