So what? A kid feels deprived because he or she doesn't have everything his or her friends do? My kids want cable TV, too. They're not getting it. They've made noise about every new game system that comes down the pike. They didn't get those, either. And oh yeah, none of their friends have to rake leaves or clean up after themselves either, because most of their friends evidently have "people" who come in and do things like that for them. So they feel deprived. A little feeling deprived isn't going to kill them. May even build character.

Who told you not to pay your heat to get presents?

So they ask me for it. They ask me for a lot of things. Sometimes I say yes, and sometimes I say no. I'm old fashioned enough to believe that kids OUGHT to hear "no" once in awhile when they ask for stuff.

OK, so NOW a word as defined in some silly online dictionary is not appropriate.


Just kidding.

Really? I'd love to see those .. link or quote please. Particularly if there is one from me (which, taking your sentence literally there can't be, as I am neither angry or uninformed.)

And we all know how well that kind of parenting works as soon as boys leave home for college!
