UGH! just spent about $500.00 on my step son for x-mas and he is complaining that there is ONLY 3 presents under the tree. What he doesn't know is that one of them is an X-box 360.
BRAT.

Kids are like that. You should tell him it's not the quantity but the quality and assure him if you don't want it that there's plenty of appreciative kids out there that will enjoy it.

I think you have spent far too much! I only spend £10 ($20) on my family and nothing for the children because they get enough from others and they grow out or get fed up with whatever they have been given e.g toys, clothes. Children should have small presents and not very expensive items because they become spoilt and expect more from you! As you have found out. They need to learn. Try to set a amount and stick to that. You do not need to spend lots of money to have a very good present.

ever think that spending 500.00 on xmas is making him an ungrateful brat? seriously, if you give kids everything they just expect more. if he has to earn something on his own he will learn the value of money, and leand to respect what you and his dad do to keep food on the table and clothes on his back.
good luck and merry x-mas!!

Ask your husband...he had a hand in raising your son to act the way he did.

Tell him if he complains any more, he's not getting ANY of them.
Haha, I'm sure he'll be excited, and sorry, when he opens it. Then you can rub it in.
