[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485753, member: 12886"] You know Lisa, I struggle with this. Q has, except for his game boy which DOES help with transitions and is not the internet one...NONE of the gaming systems. We do have a shared computer and he is so obsessed and limited in what he looks at, and I monitor every single site with a parent monitoring system that I do review every night because it comes to my email. I dont justify why I let him have some of the things he has, like his christmas present. I decided I didn't want to risk inappropriate phone behavior. But, really I got it for him becasue he always feels different. Always has to earn every single thing. Nothing is just given to him because he is a good kid. I wanted him this year, to get what he really wants. It is really the first time ever. Makes me sad to say that. He has always gotten some things he likes, but even this time it is a little different because he wants the phone. It is probably and old issue for ME, but when he says he feels jealous and like he will never be able to get anything, he is actually right. If it depended on significantly better behavior, he probably wouldn't/couldn't. I am going to give him the chance on this one. It is not educational, it is not because he will be behind if he doesn't get it, it is just because I want him to have something he really will like and enjoy. Just because he is who he is and I love him. If it blows up in my face I will have learned a lesson, sigh. [/QUOTE]
