[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cancel your trip and book yourselves in that weekend to help out at Martha's kitchen or a similar soup kitchen charity.

Then donate his presents to A Wider Circle or similar charity

and any left over cash - donate that too.

He can write the envelope.

You are living in a fxxking bubble OP, bust out of it yourself and your son may have half a chance in life.[/quote]

Way to miss the point here.  She picked a trip, booked a suite and NONE OF THIS IS WHAT HER DS ASKED FOR OR WANTED FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.  This is all about her and not about him at all. Most parents try to take their kids' wants in to consideration when getting gifts and figures out what they can do with their budget.  Her child is not spoiled, he is expressing valid feelings about his desires not even being considered. She knows he would prefer to get money for his birthday and she won't do that.  She isn't listening to her child. If this were a wife complaining that her husband refuses to take her wants in to consideration and gets her stuff HE WANTS for her birthday, the responses would be savage about how selfish the husband is.

No I think you missed the point. This family are so up their own arses with what each of them wants or doesn't want - they should look outward and do something charitable instead.[/quote]

No. Donating your kids presents is punishment and is not a way to get your kid to be more gracious or generous.  It is f-ed up. [/quote]
