When I was about 12 my parents put a present under the tree that was the right size and weight to be an Atari 5200. All of my friends were convinced that's what it was and soon had me thinking it could be. Christmas morning I start to open presents and of course I go for my new gaming system first. What was in the box? A pair of FUCKING UNDERWEAR! My Mom had went to the trouble of adding weight to box just to throw me off.
And before anybody brings up the obvious, yes, I know, I'm really freaking old.

I still have my 5200 which was, incidentally, a Christmas present. It's stored with the 2600, 7800, and a Jaguar.
THAT would have never happened in my house. My parents would have put an end to that behavior pretty fning quick. The problem is parents can't discipline the kid like they did when I was kid....and I'm only in my mid-30s.
If I had acted like that my dad would have beat my ass until it was red, my mom would have made me stand in the corner for awhile. And you know what, I'm no worse for wear now...
just my :2 cents:
That isn't going to make things any better.
Seems he doesn't want to sit down and talk with his child. :nono:
