If your 16 yr old wants an iPhone, as a parent you need to explain to them that they might need a phone, but not necessarily an iPhone | ||

No, I donated just because I felt like, and I did this well before the email with kids wish list came through. But, my concern is not just about the money that I gave, but more importantly, how parents let their kids get what they want. As you can imagine, these kids will turn out to be poor when it comes to making financial decisions.. like majority of americans | ||

if money was collected with intent of help clearing bills, and they use it on iPhones, u can complain.... Gifts kosame ani dabbulu ichinappudu, it shouldn't matter what they buy .... Could be iPhone or furby.... Perhaps nobody has changed the course of history as much as the historians. ~Franklin P. Jones" | ||

good job for giving $120. but this thought is so wrong. you expect restraint on wishes from a kid because her mom is sick ? then what is the point of giving them "gifts" . call it charity instead if you just want to give Ramen noodles | ||
