Why is it difficult to give a child the gift he wants?

I recently had a strange situation with my relatives. They have children, an older boy and a younger girl. So, the latter will soon be dr, that is, it will turn 10 years old. Anniversary, so to speak. We should give a gift to all of us.

We decide to throw off, let the parents buy something good. For this they called a girl to talk, to learn, so to speak, that the young hero of the day wants ...

The girl came with a clever look, finally the child was mistaken for an adult. They believe her and are already interested in her desires, there is generally a strict family, well, as strict ... For children, especially)

• What do you want to get for your birthday? - Mom asks, and the girl is shy for a couple of minutes and answers.

“I want a set for beadwork, remember the one we saw in the store and another set of paints big, markers and play clay,” the child honestly said.

Mom abruptly became displeased and sent the child to the room, like, it's time to sleep. But it’s already late ... Yeah, apparently she didn’t answer that way, I had to say something else. And then my mother confirmed it.

“Actually, she’s just joking, and this is nonsense, of course,” the mother laughs, “we need a computer for the girl, and therefore it would be good to throw herself on her birthday.”

Subtle such hint of thick circumstances. Just feel sorry for the child, she again will not get what she wants. And this will continue to continue ...

The day is coming X. We all chipped in, of course, gave the girl a new computer. She was terribly upset, especially since they decided to put him in the parents' room, temporarily, because the girl has little space, there are all sorts of things scattered there ...

The holiday of the child is spoiled, but my daughter and I separately presented the girl with a set for beading, the truth we took at random. And plus paints for drawing, the girl studies at art school and she constantly needs paints, and she asked for them. My daughter presented it to her in a bag. The girl was happy to madness, and parents frowned that we spoil her daughter.

“We need a camera more, it would be better to add it,” mum grumbles, “the child should understand that everything is not so simple in life.”

She didn’t swear, but eklmn, the child asked for sheer trifling, was it really difficult to do. Instead of shaking relatives to an unnecessary child thing!
