Well, the kiddo has put a few expensive items on his Christmas list this year. One of them being a Nintendo Wii. At this point though, my parents owe me roughly $300 and I was planning on using that money for Christmas when they paid me back, but they’ve yet to do so. I’ll rant more about that later. Anyway, I basically explained to Eric that he probably won’t be getting such an expensive gift this year. I mean he’s barely going to be 9 in a few days and the Wii is like close to $400. I did want to get him one, but at this point it just doesn’t seem like a good idea. I think I’ll be waiting until he’s a bit more responsible to spend so much on a video game system. As it is, he doesn’t even want to ever pick up after himself or do anything around the house or even clean his room. How can I possibly expect him to take care of such an expensive toy? Anyway, he also said he wants a Nintendo DS and a video camera. Those items are doable, but I’m not saying whether or not he’s getting either or both simply for the fact that he may be snooping around on here. I kind of miss the days when he was really little and couldn’t read! LOL. I’m just kidding about that. (Maybe.)



You definitely should wait until his behavior shows he has earned such an expensive toy.
