Thanks. I've lost track of your current thread so I didn't know you had a seizure. Are you ok?
As for the iPod. In some ways I agree with you. I was really torn. I didn't want to spend that sort of money on a child who right now totally disrespects me BUT it was my idea that I buy him one in the first place and so he could've construed it as me not living up to my promises. I couldn't win either way really. I decided to buy it b/c I wanted him to see that he can rely on me to keep the things I say. He has often accused me in the past of going back on things so I felt I needed to pull a 180 on him here.
Deep down however I know you are right and I should not have bought it (especially with the way the day ended up being).
