"That's like saying why do we buy them prom dresses, take them to Disney Land, buy them nike trainers...go figure!"
Didnt you know children arent allowed luxuries. They should be kept locked under the stairs and fed bread and water  |

Elkie, I remember as a kid wanting things, but didn't mean I got them.
As some posters have said they get what they are given and work for things.
Thats real life, you work you get.
If not they can become the 'the world owes me a living' class |

Well I never had much as a kid and worked from 16 to get what I wanted. Mine will too, no sponging off me and expecting half a mortgage off me when they want a house!
Mine have a set pocket money each month and if they spend it all on the first day they don't come back for more.
Daughter had her HTC as a birthday present so not really over extravagant. Just making the point that we all succumb at some stage |
