I read the article that you linked to about the family who was totally in debt because they could not say no to their children. I was shocked! That just seems so incredibly crazy. I realize my children are young but we don't have any trouble saying no to them so I imagine it will be the same when they ask for stuff. Wow!

She paid over $400 for a Wii because her 7 yr old wanted one. He then told her he wanted a new laptop and she is getting him that too. I just shook my head and went back to my desk.
