[quote=Anonymous]He is skipping his lunch. He carpools with another family that buys him fast food after activity. I know he needs proper nutrition to avoid injury. We've discussed it. He doesn't care. I ask him what he wants for lunch. He usually says he doesn't care. I buy things I think he'll like. He eats them sometimes. Other times I dump them in the garbage. Frustrating. Here's the thing and I know few people will understand this, but here it is. He IS super entitled. My behavior is going to have little impact on that. I want to preserve our relationship (and my sanity), but I don't have any illusions that putting him on a budget is going to make him less entitled (tried it). Also, for those worried about his brother, brother does get an allowance. He never asks for it. I also spend money on brother. Brother will get a car while entitled child will not bc he won't need one due to the activity. Yeah. Kids are different and have different needs. [/quote]
