[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 50197"] I too am extremely guilty of this. Having to work, and not being home. When we could, years ago, we bought him anything, took him everywhere when we weren't working. Because other friends parents were home. Other friends had Aunts and Uncles and cousins and grandparents. We had to be all of that. When easy child was born, I was a single mom, going back to school to get into a career, couldn't afford anything. I mean my pictures on my walls were puzzles I made. Then when I had my first real job, I bought him everything, wanting to make up for the first few years that he had nothing. It is hard to want to give them everything, but know that it isn't right to do that. difficult child doesn't appreciate what he has. We have sacraficed things that we are in need of, to give him what he wants. Does he appreciate it? No. Do they ever realize how much you love them and what you do for them? [/QUOTE]
