[quote=Anonymous]The PPs saying lower the bar... really? For 8 and 11? I was definitely making/buying my own presents for family and friends by those ages (respectively). For OPs post, it’s clear she wasn’t wedded to this activity/gift, it was the fallback when the kids weren’t interested in anything; not acceptable. I wouldn’t hold their birthdays over them, but I’d make a big deal about leaving them with a babysitter for a date night where we’re doing something they’d enjoy. These kids sound selfish and entitled and I’d want to kickstart changing that. Then I’d introduce chores if they don’t have them already...[/quote]
