All his friends got Nintendo DS's and all he has is a crappy gameboy, PS2, and Gamecube and N64. <BR/><BR/>I remember being that way as a teenager, all my friends had Varnet shirts and penny loafers and I did not. <BR/><BR/>But we all grow up, and the morals we grow up with are far better then any iPod or laptop ;) <BR/><BR/>I'd gladly take " worst mother in the universe award" for that!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847431834080815391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349742.post-31709093425317935492008-04-25T10:03:00.000-05:002008-04-25T10:03:00.000-05:00He doesn't see the valuable life lessons he's lear...He doesn't see the valuable life lessons he's learning now, but some day he will thank you.

I wasn't happy at the time but I know that I am a better person for learning it young.~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349742.post-62761552562683856212008-04-25T05:49:00.000-05:002008-04-25T05:49:00.000-05:00Well, we all contribute to our children's future t...Well, we all contribute to our children's future therapy sessions, so just add this to the list.<BR/><BR/>Taking away the clothing, BRILLIANT.<BR/><BR/>That road to being a productive person in society is a long one, consider this a pot hole.<BR/><BR/>:-)Mighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669553389756321510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349742.post-18523141535804383882008-04-25T05:24:00.000-05:002008-04-25T05:24:00.000-05:00My son has done much the same lately - thinking he...My son has done much the same lately - thinking he might get a laptop for his birthday - so what did I do? Realized it's way past time this boy started doing charity work!! Yep, that'll put things in perspective in a hurry!!
