My husbands parents are giving them all passes to the local amusement park, and my parents are giving them all $200 to spend on clothes for our family surprise- a cruise! (Hints the luggage)
My son is getting less than his sisters due to how expensive the computer was. Are we going overboard? Also, each child picks a name from the angel tree and shops for them. We also do shoe boxes for soldiers. How much do you spend on Chrisrmas?
Added (1). Those are 3 separate lists, I just didn't separate them very well. They don't get much except on Christmas and birthdays, and all 3 have summer birthdays. I also want to add this year we're doing a little more since our youngest son has past in the last 8 months. We're also giving to a charity in his name.
How is that normal, you're raising a spoiled little brat who will expect to be treated as a queen and never expect to have to work. I have seen this before.
You can adopt me.
If you don't mind having a child over 21
In my opinion, yes i do think you are a bit. My sibling is spoiled alot and now she's just a rotten egg.
It sounds like a helluva a lot to me, but not spoiling them as you planned to budget for that amount.
I hope with all of the generosity you put some Christmassy Foodstuffs into the Charity Boxes and something to put some CHRISTmas into the decorations and home
H-man
I think its fine as long as you guys can afford it and they know to be greatful for what they get, no matter how much it cost.
Honestly, it depends on your income. It sounds fine coming from me because that's the way I'm but it honestly depends on what you bring home every year. I really hope this helps.
I bought ugg boots from this site before, it is great

- Is Grandma spoiling my 10-year-old nephew by giving him a $200/month allowance? - 1 That has allowed him to buy 3 bikes, an XBOX, 2 computers, a full closet of video games, a stereo, flat screen TV, iPad, iPhone, and a bunch of other electronics. Plus he goes to Disneyland, Knotts, and other amusement parks on almost a daily basis (he lives close enough to bike there). Is his grandma spoiling him?
- I need to get the book children of the dust bowl by jerry Stanley? I've been looking for the book everywhere it HAS TO BE IN Some form that I could use my iPad, iphone or android tablet., anything would help i don't care if it's iTunes or gotten off the internet I just really need this book by tommorow
- Children who come from poor families feel inferior sometimes but they are? Just as valuable, having the lastest iphone etc does not make someone valuable does your valuable anyway and don't you think these companies are putting too much pressure on families.
