[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 641770, member: 3419"] I feel for you. I would definitely taper off on the gifts. I keep all of my receipts in a folder. A red folder. I wrote "Christmas" on it in big black marker. Still, they will learn that it is a holiday of giving, whether they give to you or not. When my son yelled at me like that (and when he still does) he loses privileges. With him, since he loves his video games and phone, that's what goes first. Of course, he became violent and aggressive and grabbed my wrist and bruised my arm, but somehow we made it through. He learned quickly that I would follow through, even if it meant bruises. And yes, I have taken to my bed crying. But then I get up again and start all over. You've got to find what your kids think they need ... electronics, privacy ... does your daughter lock herself in her room? Take the door off the hinges. :) [/QUOTE]
