[quote=Anonymous]I think kids need to know how the world works. My DS had his birthday recently and I worked overtime to pay for it. I'm a single mom and don't have a lot of extra money. He got some nice gifts that he wanted too. Then, he started whining about getting something that his friend just got (a Nerf gun). I explained that I had to work x number of hours extra in order to get him his presents, the party, etc. Otherwise, he would have no idea how money works (he is 5). I don't think I "made" him feel guilty but he needs to understand how much I work is what allows him to have what he needs and wants.[/quote]
