The talking about what they got for Christmas?? I have 2 that are down right mean to another. "We got this-what did you get? Oh, well santa must like us a lot more." That kind of thing. Everyday since Christmas I have had to say, no more. We are not talking about that anymore. I've tried separating them by themselves for a while, but it never fails, e v e r y d a y. Sometimes I'll take the other one and we will go do something different and just ignore their talk. I'm hoping another weekend will hopefully wear it off, but I'm not thinking it will.

I would highly consider saying something like "Don't forget, even though Christmas is over Santa is still watching. He doesn't like to hear you (boast/brag/put down your friend's gifts - whatever works) and you'll likely end up on his naughty list for this next Christmas."Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. -
...well, you've got to figure that the stores start advertising Christmas the second that school supplies are no longer out so the build up is roughly about 8-10 weeks, it is almost a given that the fall out will last just as long.
I have one little one who comes in every morning and says "Miss C, can we listen to Christmas songs today still?" I have been saying yes so far, but the "Merry" part is definitely wearing thin for me.
Greta~ I have a dcp who is still telling their kid that Santa is watching (for 2012 Christmas) and the child is starting to have the attitude that since next Christmas is so far off, he has plenty of time to **** up when it becomes necessary! :

For as much as I only like Christmas songs in December, right now I would rather listen to that all day
I'm afraid that if I told them Santa was still watching, it would backfire on me come December when they still get waaaaaay more than they need and not cheap stuff either. They would probably say "see, I bragged and wasn't very good and still got all this stuff!"
I know it is every parent's right to spend whatever they want/can afford and on whatever, but sometimes they should just stand back and look at the whole picture. When your children only wants/talks about electronic devices at such a young age and have no idea how to build a simple house with blocks/lincoln logs, maybe it's time to readjust a few things. Or if you are constantly complaining because there are toys all over your house and you don't have a place to keep it all, maybe goodwill would be a good place to start.
Ok, sorry. I'm glad it's Friday and it is the last day to listen to this stuff for a few days anyway.Comment
