You know, burning through the pile of loot and looking up at you with a pouty little frown as if to say "is that it???"

I would think that I have been getting them too much. It's usually the child that gets more then he needs that always wants more. They loose the appreciation of getting anything at all. If it happens, cut back on (not eliminate) all gifts until they get the message.
Mine have never done that but I usually really put thought into the gifts and never buy just fill the underside of the tree.

I feel like "Gosh, am I raising a brat". I remind my six year old that there are children all over the world who don't have any toys and they don't get toys for Christmas. He has two toyboxes full of toys (not to mention whats in the garage) and always wants more. I feel guilty that I've turned him into a greedy unappreciative consumer.

ask your self this: do you supply her delivers to be thanked? If the respond is certain then do no longer supply her any delivers lower back; if no then i do no longer see why she could thank you. An decision could be to ask her "did you get my present?", this style she could be compelled to thank you; yet to tell you the reality, if somebody gave me a present and moaned a pair of thank you i would not choose for to receive something from that individual lower back. even if, I nevertheless think of that no longer declaring it verbally in any respect is definitely impolite; when you consider which you bothered to %. up the telephone to call her then she could have the decency to assert "oh, by utilising the way, I have been given your present; thank you plenty, you may no longer have...".

I think it depends on how there parents raised them to begin with. If you give your child everything they ask for you are teaching them nothing..There have been time's when I was a single parent and had very little money that I couldn't afford to buy my kids much. All I could buy them was one gift a peice and you would never know thats all they got..They cherished that one gift and never complained!!

Well you can't really get all you want in life and he/she needs to get over it. I know it sounds harsh but they need to get independent in knowing that everything isn't gonna come to them.
Next Christmas you can just get more presents, but make each present a little less expensive.

Ask them how many presents they gave out for Christmas.
Have them pick a present to give away to someone who didn't get any.

I don't have kids, but I do have cousins. Most of the time they are grateful, but sometimes there like "Why didn't I get more?" I wanted ________!" Sometimes it bugs me so much, I have to "go to the bathroom".

Mine dont do that, as I always say, when they are writing to Santa............
