[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 67275, member: 3211"] Oh believe me, I have absolutely <u>[i]NO[/i]</u> problem using a 'bribe' - it's just that usually it ends up being a much more expensive bribe - such as a new dvd or game for the DS. I have to say that as far as school shopping goes, yesterday was not all that bad. difficult child did wiggle his behind for me once - in a pair of jeans that I had him try on for reference that would have fallen off if he had wiggled with any more enthusiasm :D. And he did complain when we were trying to find sneakers because he is now a size 6 (bordering on men's sizes) and still insists on wraparound velcro or those elastic-type shoe laces so he doesn't have to tie them. And, to top it all off, when we got to the Crane at the end of our excursion, there was nothing in it that he wanted to spend his money trying to win - and it was OKAY!!! Can you believe it? I know I had a hard time believing it. easy child gave us more gripe than difficult child did. Jeesh. I have to add that I, too, am immune to the allure of the Crane game - although it has enough fans to keep them in business forever, that's for sure. husband's stepmom wins everytime, too. Scary. I guess you've either 'got it' or you don't!! [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
