I would like some feedback on an incident that happened today.  My SS 9 recieved spending money for xmas. My wife was going to the store so he went with him to find something to buy.  He wanted to buy an eraser at staples.  There is a staples in our town but he saw a bigger staples in the city 20 minutes away and thought they would have this eraser for some reason.  We just took them to the mall yesterday in the city and then drove another hour to see a xmas display and took them to a restaurant.  We both said that driving to Abbotsford again was not going to happen.  He then asked his mom to go into the his room and was raisimg his voive at her.  He isnt brave enough to do this in front of me.  I spoke to my wife and called him out to the kitchen to tell him he was out of line.  My wife seem frustrated and said that she told him "no."  I feel that for a 9 year old to expect to be driven into the city to possibly get an eraser is absoltuely ridiculous. I have spoken to my wifw over and over about this sort of thing and that simplying not giving to him is not good enough.  I think he needs to know that he is being unreasonable and that him even asking was not acceptable amd arguing about is completely out of line.  I would have never asked my mom to do something like this when I was his age.
