Any of your kids tell you what they want for Christmas that caught you off guard?

My 10 year son asked if he can have Apple or Walmart stock and silver coins for Christmas. That was after I said I wasn’t going to spend $500 on a ps5 lol. Besides the game console, I wish I thought about that when I was 10. I just wanted everything from the TOYS R US and Sears catalog.

Any of your kids asked for something that caught you off guard on what they want for Christmas or from past years?

I'd reevaluate my parenting if my kid asked for that at 10.

Obviously the wife is spoiling him to death and you’ve allowed this. Probably has your old IPhone10 too. Buy the boy a gun and book a nice charter trip. There’s hope yet.

Don't tell him about your life insurance policy. Kid is too smart for his own good.

My dad bought me 5 shares of Dave & Busters in the mid 90s as a surprise gift. He took me once, found it incredible, and he taught me how to follow in in the newspaper. Every morning I checked it out and we discussed it. I think it went private at some point or he liquidated it at some point in the late 90s and moved it to Cisco or HP.

It was a fun thing to watch as a kid growing up but I lost interest after about a year or two, until a few years ago and now I read charts all day.

Why not have him pick out and donate a toy or two for toys for tots as well? My child is 4, and we did that.

He is getting out of his playing with action figures stage and he just got a BB gun for his birthday. He saw Blank Check on Disney plus and now he wants to be a millionaire. My mom told him to put his birthday money into stock if he wants to be rich. I had a family member give him a silver coin last year at the family reunion so that’s all I got.

The next Steve Jobs.

My kids are spoiled by us and my side of the family. One is getting a PS5 and the other is getting a Series X....and using his Christmas money from one grandparent to get a 50" 4K TV (since a standard 42" 1080p won't do) and getting an AR from the other grandparent.

My 4 year old wished for World Peace. She also asked why can't people put aside their petty differences to help build a better planet for her generation.

That’s awesome.

This Christmas, I’m giving a kid a share of Disney stock with a framed Disney replica share with their name on it. Disney stopped doing paper ones in 2013 but plenty of other companies still do.

I can see two out of three you can accommodate, but no way would I let him have an account in this depraved place.
