My dad had no patience for shopping at all. When I had a kid, we made a point to visit the shop, and I guess I got lucky- he is not a collector so he didn't beg for every little thing.

I'm always surprised by the sense of entitlement I see in kids (and adults) these days. That being said, my kids don't have any money; they are broke! It's an age appropriate issue, I suppose.
