[QUOTE="ML, post: 224798"] ((((((((((((Shari)))))))))))))) Talk about the warrior mom queen! You are amazing. Manster has always done this too, not so agressive but more a passive obsession: beg, whing, plead, cry, make promises, threaten, etc. The Christmas experience is rather odd when you think about it. Manster taught us all an interesting lesson about it when he was about 3.5. On Christmas morning we were giving him his presents which he loved. Just as he was interested in one present he had just opened we were shoving another one at him. After about 3 or 4 time he cried out "STOP, I just want to play with the one I opened". We hastily hid the rest of the presents and took a 12 days after Christmas approach and took one out of the closet each day until they were done. He just loved that. It taught me about the excess and the extremes. I know this is a bit off your topic but sometimes we really just need to create our own traditions even if it means opening gifts when they arrive in the mail (or never let difficult children around the postal people when they arrive; maybe alert them ahead of time to call first with a special code lol). Feeling your pain and in awe of your spirit. Love, ML [/QUOTE]
