My apologies, wow. I misunderstood your first post. It simply reminded my of a woman I know who always makes sure her kids get every last thing they want. Last Christmas, I invited them to my house and when I gave the children some gifts, the elder child (7 year old) pouted through the whole thing. When it came time to leave she started kicking the gift and saying, "this is not what I wanted," over and over again. The mom's response, "we'll go buy you what you want on the way home dear." I didn't invite them this year.
