How many times have your teens told you "I've gotta have..." and fill int the blank. I've gotta have the newest electronic device, I've gotta have a certain brand of clothing/shoes. It seems to forever be the plight of kids and teen-agers. I remember being there myself. How do you handle the "I gotta have..." statements in your house?
Do you give it to them? After all, they're only young once.
Do you say, "No, we cannot afford it."
Do you say, "You want it, you buy it."
Do you say, "You cannot have it. I'm not buying it for you and you are not wasting your money on it either."
What then happens when they break or lose it and ask you to replace it?
I love your blog. I would love to buy the teal dress if I win the giveaway for 24 7 Frenzy
