RE: Prevent “I Want it” meltdowns
I was never taught money management. It is something I want my son to learn. We will buy things that he needs but will make him save for things that he wants. Even if we split it 50/50, we want him to learn how to save up and realize the value in things.
The toughest part is that he is an only child who has 4 aunts and 3 uncles. So he has a lot of chances to get gifts and be spoiled.

Yeah. I had to give up on trying to limit the grandparents. I just had to let it go. It was periodically way out of control. Luckily as they got older, they would ask them to help with one big thing. At least at that point it wasn't 50 million little things.
Maybe as a result of this my kid would rather get 50 million little things... maybe because he know his money will stretch farther.
Thanks for the comments
