[quote=Anonymous]I help my kids "fit in" to the extent it makes them unhappy to not fit in, to the extent I can afford it, and to the extent it is just to put my kids on an even playing field and not make them "better" than other kids. So if my son really wants a certain sneaker because that is what most the boys are wearing, and it is in my budget, I buy it. I won't buy him an I-phone when all the other kids have simple phones just so he can be super cool. And if my kid is perfectly happy wandering around in a dorky Pokemon t-shirt that the other kids tease him about, but he is totally secure in his nerdiness and doesn't care, I'm not going to throw his shirt away and make him buy new shirts.[/quote]
