Well done - wish more people thought like this. I do believe we wouldnt have so many discontented young people that we have today who almost see as it as a right to instantly have whatever it is that they want, often emotionally blackmailing parents to get whatever it is.
This starts right from the toddler who will have a temper tantrum to get the sweets/icecream they want whilst in a shop to the teenager who just has to have the latest trainers/computer game/mobile phone and will put parents through hell if they dont get it as they have to come to expect to be given all that is asked for. Unfortunately these people often go on as adults to run up huge credit card bills as they have never learnt to wait. These are important life skills and we do children no favours in the long run by indulging them all the time.

Well said, although not all children are so demanding. My son (9) wants a small rucksac for christmas. Last year he wanted an umbrella. For information on how to nurture such undemanding children, please send a cheque for £127.99 to Frostys accademy for wierd children.

Yes but part of that is probably because you didnt indulge them with every icecream they wanted as toddlers when they had a tizzy fit. I know as a child we learnt not to ask for presents that we knew where totally unrealistic and beyond my parents means. I really cant understand how parents can run up huge debts at christmas time just to indulge their childrens latest fad - its just plain bonkers

Rumbled...

It is more likely the trimix bill that is limiting my present buying ability than the mess bill!

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
