[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 845559, member: 60724"] Public humilation as parental inspiration... I guess if that is a last resort, maybe. Wouldn't be my first choice though. I'd suspect the kid has no job, has a wardrobe that costs 10x what mine does, has all the latest video game systems, and iPods, etc. Most kids today don't understand how hard it is and how successful you have to be to PAY for all that stuff (without falling into the credit trap). I'd further suspect that teaching that kid what it takes in life to get all the toys he wants, possibly by taking away some of those toys in the process, might be a better approach. TJR [/QUOTE]
