[quote=Anonymous]He will be 13. We honestly haven’t given much as presents compared to what kids at his school get. He had gone to small private schools, and now he’s in a public middle school in Potomac. So it’s a bunch of wealthier families. We aren’t poor, but we aren’t them, either. We don’t live in Potomac. But he’s zoned to go there for whatever reason. He does NOT appreciate what he gets and wants more. Like he’s trying to keep up with the Jones’ kids. For his 13th birthday we are taking him on a small road trip to a nice hotel to spend time doing one of his favorite hobbies. It’s an upgraded hotel with a suite that gives him his own room, and has a huge indoor pool. Plus he will get some presents. He’s upset that the trip cost will “cut into gift money.” And “last year I barely got any presents. A gaming chair and two games.” I don’t want to give him anything right now. But that’s a lousy way to commemorate a 13th birthday. How do I bring him back to reality? [/quote]
