[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because people think poor kids should be happy with whatever they get. [/quote] I think all kids should be happy with whatever they get. The holiday gift grab is depressing. None of these gadgets are good for kids and most, if not all, just require that you spend more and more money to actually use them. And then they’re obsolete in no time.[/quote] I think in a lot of families it's more that kids learn to 1) cope when reality fails wishes and 2) are sometimes astonished (in a good way) about something they would have not imagined but lands right where their desires come from. I lived across the street from a family that got charity gifts. Their 12-yo daughter was so disappointed when her gift turned out to be a shower scrubbie and some lotion. [/quote]
