He buys his yu-gi-oh cards, hot wheels, collector car models, goes to arcades, movies, buys magazines, playstation 2 games go for $50 a pop, movie dvds, computer games, etc. If you can't see how that all adds up to $1,000 a month then you must not have kids either.
And I hardly think that's spoiling a kid. All his friends buy and get the same stuff so I'm doing nothing different than any of the other parents I know from his school.

I have two children so I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
$30 a day on ENTERTAINMENT is overboard. all that shit you just mentioned is shit that a kid uses INSIDE THE HOUSE...I didn't see one thing that you mentioned that goes towards the EDUCATION of that child. It's all junk and bullshit....Hell, there are parents who can afford to buy all of that crap for their kids but they won't because it's nonsense....Give the child a fucking book for God's sake....How much does that kid weigh?
Buy the kid a bike and tell him to go his ass outside and get some exercise....Why in the hell would a kid need collector cars, hot wheels, playstation games and movie dvd's? You know what I use? CABLE TELEVISION AND BOOKS. I also take my oldest daughter to the library so that she can expand her mind.
My oldest daughter gets just about anything she wants within reason but I'm NOT going to spend a lot of money on bullshit that means absolutely nothing....There's kids out here that live full and happy lives out on a farm with home education and grow up to be very successful.
And using the reasoning that "the other kids at his school gets it" is bullshit. Give the child a backbone and help the child use some fucking restraint.
Fuck, that's why there's the Columbine epidemic...Kids who get all of the bullshit they want without any substance to back it up.
