To Buy or not to Buy that is the Question
Hope you had a killer weekend (haven’t used the word killer since the early 90’s, tomorrow I will use “throwdown” in a sentence…LOL) I’m sorry, I’m in a great mood and feeling kinda goofy. If you are a parent you probably have been in the situation I found myself over the weekend with my kids. My little Giavanna begged me to her a “Hanna Montana” video game guitar. She begged and begged and begged. Let me remind you that is going on in front of my 8yr old Christopher who is paying close attention. I tried the “let’s wait till Christmas’ line to no avail. I tried ignoring the begging until the “I’m never here” guilt got to me. I know I’m weak when it comes to making my kids happy. With Giavanna smiling from ear to ear at the the checkout counter, Christopher was giving me the “what do I get” look. He wanted a Nano which is much more expensive than a video guitar. Again the guilt was weighing on me but this time I held my own. Christopher(and I know this is going to come back and bite me) is a little more patient and practical when it comes to toys and gifts. He can wait til Christmas or so we will see. LOL
Every parent has that challenge now with this tough economy. To buy or not to buy that is the question. Good luck trying to make a young one understand. Maybe “layaway” should be brought back? That was my “Santa Claus” growing up….
I have to run for now, I’ll catch up with you later!
