Do you think it is annoying if your son asked you for a thing that is not good for you knowing that will make him happy? For, me it's not, i don't care if it is against my will or anything, what important to me is i saw a smiling mouth from my son's face. For instance, i do not want him to learn how to handle a gun, but he likes a toy gun, even if it's against my will i will still buy him the gun but with guidance on his side. That can make him happy and that can give me time with my son to bond and teach him what is right and wrong. How about you?

You are right about that, what important is that seeing our love ones smile. No matter how expensive or hard they may ask us, a smile is a worth exchange for those things. Seeing them enjoying the things that you gave them no matter how expensive or less it is, what important is that they appreciate and it made them really really happy.

I love to see my child smiling too and I usually do what ever is in my power to make sure she is happy but having said that I don’t want to instil in her an unreasonable sense of entitlement but that will not help her in life in the long run. As a parent of course I have dreams for my daughter and I do have to constantly remind myself that she is her own person who has to learn and make mistakes in her own way. It is hard not to push her to do what I wished I had done as a kid and live vicariously through her.

Even if against my will then I will give it to him but first I will try to convince him not to pursue whatever he likes that is against my will & encourage him to look for any other past time that makes him happy if his decision has to be followed them I will have him become a member so that he is properly guided with what he handle. And I will be more extra vigilant in monitoring his activities so that he will no be influenced by friends to use it in a wrong way.
