Of course! My kids never expected to come out of a store with something, because usually they never got anything. It's all a question of training, OP :-)

So you purposely took them to the toy store to look at what they couldn’t have?!  Jesus, that’s cruel.  [/quote]

PP you replied to. I can't relate to people like you. We went to stores. Some of them had toys. We went to look and that was fun enough. Sometimes we bought things for friends. Very rarely, we bought for our kids. They are now 16 and 11 and very normal, un-traumatized kids. They never displayed the least expectation that when they went to a store, something had to come home with them!!! They would point to things that interested them, just to show me. Of course, they would have been overjoyed to get all the things they pointed to, BUT THEY DID NOT EXPECT IT, SO THEY WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.

Again, I can't relate to people like you. How do you live your life, I wonder.

I feel sorry for your kids.  You taught them the good things in life weren’t for them.

Here’s how I live my life:  I don’t torture my young daughters by bringing them to a doll store and tell them everyone else there is getting a doll except them.  My daughters are in top colleges and both going into medicine.  They know they are worthy. [/quote]
