As soon as you hit that point as a teen, where you are more self conscientious in terms of how you look (clothing wise), clothes are the best present.

Amirite?

lolfail.

Buy clothes before they become teens because they don't care

Wait what

pre-teen = they don't care = they'll like/wear whatever you buy = high success rate

teen = they know what they want. (or rather, what they don't want) = If they don't like it, they won't wear it = low success rate




Get "it" a gift-card, tbh-

Obviously

Well if you ask for what you want, or the kind of stuff, I usually get money rather than anything else.

That's what I meant Jens, I wouldn't wear jsut anything.

spending $2000 on video games for a kid is spoiled, I don't care if he's a straight A student or not.

I'm a straight A student and my parents spend $150 max for birthdays and christmas. I bought my Rock Band, I bought my PS3, I bought my computer.

1.  I didn't say I was spending 2000 on him.  It will be total for my entire family.
2.  He's 10 and not old enough to work.
3.  I'm almost positive I make my own money and can spend it how I please.  But please, since you are so well established, please let me know how paying your rent, car note, etc., is going.  Oh wai..

The kid is a great kid and he deserves it. He never asks for anything so I decided to "spoil" him this Christmas.  But I do value your input.  Please continue.

Edit: grammar.

Of course I don't pay rent, but I'm sure you don't make your kid pay rent either...

Of course you can spend your money how you want, I just think it is definitely "spoiling" to buy a kid 2 current gen consoles, a handheld and a $150(?) game.

When I was ten I saved up my allowance for 2 months to go out and get an N64.

I logged in just to say this.

Dude, Shut the fuck up.

When you grow up, you will understand when you have kids.  As for now, learn something in school so you can go out and provide for a family and be able to buy them whatever they want.  Until then...well, you get the point.

I lol'd.  Hard.

Seriously...

I'm sorry Miggle, but I fail to see how if a father can afford it and he feels his kid deserves it, giving his kid extra stuff this Christmas is "spoiled". It's not like he's giving his kid extra stuff just for the hell of it, he's doing it because of how he's acted and what he's done.

And lol @ whoever gave you (Miggle) your last karma. What a fucking ignoramus.

I don't know which way to go on this one

I do agree, these games are expensive and a 360 for a birthday present is absurd to me. I have never been in a very rich family but I guess buying games to an extent is okay

If you buy your son a game every time he asks, I'd call him spoiled, so spoiled

I'm not sure but if I got a PS3 for christmas I would shit my pants. If I got a PSP as well, damn I'd be crying. Rock band also? I'd ask my parents why they spend so much on me

my opinion, I dunno

I'm going Jesus style.

Everyone gets mur.

Whatever that is.

I wouldn't worry about it...I think it is nice that you want get him nice things.  I would have been super excited to get all that when I was a kid.  I am guessing that some people here wish they had been so lucky.

Doesn't bother me at all.  I did just buy myself a digital camera so I guess I am spoiled as well.
