Fair enough. Maybe tell them Santa isn’t coming this year bc of their behavior. I milk the whole I’m gonna tell Santa from November 1st till Christmas lol but a lot of family gets them stuff already so I don’t usually get them a whole lot. I also can’t really afford much but we make it fun and they are pretty good kiddos so that makes it easier. My son who’s 4 has been having difficulty listening right now and it’s been driving me bonkers! My 11 year old daughter lives with her dad and he lets her have tv, phone, tablet unlimited so when she comes over that’s all she wants to do so trying to navigate how to limit her screen time at my house and haven’t come up with a solution yet other than doing more stuff outside and going to the park
Your kids aren’t entitled to Christmas. The holidays are stressful and expensive enough as it is. If my children were raising hell and being unappreciative I’d bag the tree up and we’d have quiet time for Christmas 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe just start looking for stuff. You might think oh so and so would love that. Try to remember what you love about them.
