Mike there is a differce when a child is throwing a temp tantrum to get
what they want. I'm sure you don't let your kids get away with throwing
a fit and you run out and buy them what they want to make them happy
kids have to learn that sometime things are not that simple. If your
kids come to you and say dad is there anyway we can get another computer
so we can get on the computer also you would do what ever you can do in
order to get another one even a used one can be found pretty cheap. But
to have them throw a fit and give in I know you would not just do it
that way kids have to learn also there is a way to go about things and a
wrong way. They can't always have there way.

well i know that if my sons ever started demanding stuff i would tell
them flat out "get a job to get what you want. i had to." heck i did
work when i was 9 delivering the edmonton journal. i took a paper route
that only had 12 papers and within 4 years it and another route were
merged together for a grand total of 426 papers. so yes i worked for
what i wanted.

Mike I know you have kids and raise them by yourself hey I admire a man
that does that it is not an easy task but it is one that has rewards
beyond anything that you can receive else were. Its just the way
tonebear worded it the kid is all mad cause mom won't buy her a computer
to me that is a child that will have that new computer soon and will not
learn the value of things bet your kids don't throw those kind of fits
and get away with it. Hummm I've been in your shoes raised mine for the
last 15 years by myself but I only had 2. They have returned more to me
than I have ever gave them just knowing they always call me and come see
me lol I see my son at least 2-3 times a week he is mommy's little man
now and for always lol

well, I got problems with my older son, because he is use to getting
anything he wanted, my mother and sisters gave him whatever he asked
for, now is a real big problem, but he will have to understand that now
my mom is to old, and my sisters got their own children, he is suffering
now!!!lol,
