You are probably right. But, I see that like me, you believe at somepoint they need to buy them with their "own" money.

I caved and took Will to Destin last Sunday morning at 6 am- to prove a point. That we would have had to be there at midnight to get a spot. That we aren't getting a stupid Wii until after the holidays. So we stopped at Target- they had 15 Wiis and 30 people were in line. Stopped at Best Buys- again, 15 Wiis and 50 people (did #16 through #50 think the dam things were going to reproduce??).
At Best Buy, some little 10 year old twerp said "Our Wii will be on E-bay later and you can buy it there". I looked at him and said "Not on your life you little f-head".(I felt really good after that!) Unfortunately, kids like Will who saved for months can't get one because of the a$$holes buying them to sell on E-Bay.
Oh joyous holiday's. This just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!!!! :funn:
I swear I would have said the same thing to him....
Isn't it amazing the things we will do to get our kids these game consoles so they can sit on their butts for hours and hours and hours....OH, wait I sit on my but all day at work in front of a computer, then go home and sit on my butt in front of my computer...good role model I suppose!!!
Thanfully though Jes did not ask for Wii...he has asked for laptop for a couple of years now and that is what he is getting this year. But yeah, I can share it with him and bring it to the beach with me and post!!!
Good luck to all of you on your quests for the Wii's!!!!

MS has asked for an Xbox thingy. I refuse to purchase it, but he will be receiving some $$ for Christmas and his Bday (28th) and he can go buy it himself! BTW...he is almost 22 and this has just got to stop.
The XBOX 36 is EXACTLY what my son (19 y/o) wants too. I hate to admit this, but I wish I could use the excuse "You can't find them ANYWHERE." Mr. dbuck and I are going round and round on this one. I say we have bought enough of these console things, Mr. dbuck says that's all he is asking for for Christmas, so we should go ahead and get it.
So, at this point, poor Tyler has only one small present under the tree and that's ALL. 
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. But, I've got to do something soon.

I hear you, dbuck. MS also asked for a video Ipod, his other one is on the blink. So, he is getting that. Problem for us is that his bday is on the 28th....but, I must stick to my guns this year.

I'm afraid I'm going to give in . . . I suggested iPod, he doesn't want one. Oh for the days, when we just had to search for "special Starting Lineups."
