[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I'm of the "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit" parenting style. OP, stick with your plans for his bday. It's not like you're giving him some crappy gift, I think it sounds like fun and 13 year olds don't get to dictate everything. Even on their birthday. My kids sometimes suffer from the same gift envy, they see their friends getting mounds of Xmas, bday gifts, etc. on social media. My tween DD lets it get to her at times, but it isn't changing how I do birthdays or holidays. And I remind them how beyond tacky it is to display gifts they've received on social media, explaining there are kids out there -- they even may be in school with some -- who get very little. If they aren't appreciative of what I do for them now, they may -- or may not -- down the line. Not much I can do there.[/quote]
