my brother in law will throw a fit and say they are not good enough.

any hints on dealing with a reckless BIL.

i could say when the boy is a teen- ill count every wild thing he does taht YOU DID! and hide him from the cops!!!

Check with BIL about what youre going to get, beforehand?

Mind you, I find it a bit difficult to understand the lack of grace his attitude shows, if I read it correctly?

I mean, if someone bought my kids knives or something, I might throw a fit, but otherwise I dont see why a dad should be bothered by someone buying his kids stuff. Unless he's unable or unwilling to provide stuff himself of course and feels embarassed?

Strickly educational. Flash cards and puzzles.  ummm= i picked up at thrift store. so that will be a problem....

I suggest giving them to the BIL, as if you dont mind me saying, it sounds like he needs some education himself.

he is smart and happy - but knowing his parent when he gets older he will likely experiment w booze etc. he needs to fall back on something larger then attitude. his dad comes from a family w money so the illusion is important. my outlook is the fancy people still leave turds--- so there ya go.,

LMAO!!!  well in recent yrs he got serious- he brings home a good check- im sure my sister would have thrown him out if he continued his "im a wild teen ager" phaze.

tho my sister works VERY HARD. i did tell her about the 10 years she would need to collect on his check per social security. i gAVE HER THE LECTURE oops about pensions sn such. not to try to separate them but strictly so she can make good choices if she so wishes.

seems females carry a disproportionate share of the burden!!!

men dont have to grow up cos the lady will bail him out..... argh!
