Mine too is spoiled but not rotten (mostly). And my kids also have a Gigi (my mom) who contributes tremendously to that. At the end of the day, it's our decision on what we buy our children, what you're dealing with is jealousy more than judgement I think but there's certainly both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194386970975164367.post-51179957708028178402010-07-15T16:25:10.701-07:002010-07-15T16:25:10.701-07:00http://www.amazon.com/Safari-LTD-Eastern-Diamondba...http://www.amazon.com/Safari-LTD-Eastern-Diamondback-Rattlesnake/dp/B003CUUGY0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1279236156&sr=1-3Yellzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433778401018506204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194386970975164367.post-40087781650179109842010-07-14T11:19:06.152-07:002010-07-14T11:19:06.152-07:00A. It is your decision and you do not have to rat...A. It is your decision and you do not have to rationalize it to anyone B. You know your son and what he values. This is something he will value. D. It was only $10 E. I would have done the exact same thing.<br /><br />I'm not convinced that your son is spoiled. Your distinction between "spoiled" and "spoiled rotten" though makes perfect sense. The difference reminds me of why I would buy my sons shirts that say, "Here Comes Trouble" but REFUSE to let them wear shirts that say "Nothing But Trouble". <br /><br />Moms know our own children best--and that helps us make the best decisions we can.Laraf123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13283945251427328960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194386970975164367.post-88023755923027785102010-07-14T09:09:43.224-07:002010-07-14T09:09:43.224-07:00I completely agree with your decision and your vie...I completely agree with your decision and your views on what toys you (or Gigi) buy the boy. But I know and have spent quality time with him, so I see exactly what you're talking about. I'm guessing the other members of your family have not. Like you said, your boy is NOT most children wanting any and every toy in the store. And he is the most UNrotten child I have ever met. That's why he's my favorite.<br /><br />P.S. Not so sure MO will be ok with even a stuffed rattlesnake. ;)AuntFancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632826633321230595noreply@blogger.com
