[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 226328, member: 3626"] I think it is the general attitude of kids his age. I could never live with myself if I took the "big" present away from my child. I didn't buy the gift because my child was good, but because I loved her and I wanted to see the joy on her face when she opened that present. I'm sure your motives were the same. Why deprive yourself because he's still at a very selfish age? I will say I never thought my daughter would "get it," but she has. It no longer is about what is there for her but rather if others like what she has gotten them and she will now sacrifice to give the gift. She started about 3 years ago with her friends. It has finally spilled over to giving me something. She's so excited this year that she's nagging me to open my presents. She's very frustrated that I'm refusing to do so. Hang in there. He will grow up and show that your thoughtfulness when he was younger was worth all the tribulation. [/QUOTE]
