This was the first Christmas I have not heard the I Wants! I do not know what made it different. I think we were honest with them and said 3 gifts is it. So they really thought about what they wanted. <BR/><BR/>I still struggle with teaching them about saving up their little amounts of money for big things. They just cannot seem to grasp that concept.

I made and sold birthday cards, photo frames, and other handcraft stuffs. And, just like yours, my children also almost have anything they want. It is one of my childhood dream, that my children should live better than I did.<BR/>Now I make them appreciate what they have by not always give them want they want.latreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521924109825718501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37035647.post-2618354049233679712007-12-27T21:22:00.000-08:002007-12-27T21:22:00.000-08:00What a great way to spend a day!

I really want to teach my kids these skills too. I think learning to work, save money and buy things is one of the most important skills you need to learn!

I agree that kids nowadays don't have wants the way we did when we were young. I find myself buying my kids whatever they want, too, and I don't think its a good thing. Great deals at Gymboree! I have yet to go there. One day I will!I am Arizona; a person, not a place.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18162117959024394009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37035647.post-40687306771977025072007-12-27T11:09:00.000-08:002007-12-27T11:09:00.000-08:00Those are AWESOME deals.

I'm constantly trying to work with my kids on that too... I love the budget idea. Joe's parents gave each of the kids 20 bucks to spend on what they wanted and they did really good. Emma was of course old enough to understand better but it was interesting to watch her decide what she wanted!

I know that there are things in his world that are just his, but I want him to understand sharing and know that coveting anything and everything and that begging, whining, and crying for things is not okay. I pray every night that he does not take after his father in this department!<BR/><BR/>How wonderful that the girls understood their budgets and chose accordingly - great job, Momma!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37035647.post-62345151137055907312007-12-27T10:33:00.000-08:002007-12-27T10:33:00.000-08:00Woohoo!
