Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2357391, member: 1646"] No offense, but there is no other way to take that other than "mean." Don't question my parenting based on a paragraph on a sports message board. I'm not looking for an argument, however. There are enough of those on message boards. I'm not sure how you can come to the conclusion that my son (and every boy in town) owns their parents. Because they like certain brands? Is that a new concept that kids follow fads, and each other? The comments were about UA losing the edge it had. We do buy our son (and less brand conscious daughter) clothes and shoes and they do get to help pick stuff out. Because he really likes sneakers we give him what we feel is a reasonable budget (similar to his sister) and he can supplement that with his own money from gifts / allowance earning. I wouldn't spend my money the way he does, but that's his choice. I love that he set up the blog (with my help) to post his reviews and tips on where to find shoes for kids. If that means my son owns me, so be it I guess. [/QUOTE]
