They seem to go shopping A LOT. I disagree with buying the children whatever they want, whenever. First hand I have seen the consequences of buying/gifting material items when sad. My sibling and I lost our parents young. I was 11 but I started to fill my time with helping with a farm. My sibling was happier going shopping. And family, friends gave in. This behavior has lasted 25 years. They're sad? Spend $. Hard day? Spend $. They value gifts over love. I'm not saying Ellis and Winnie are going to be this way, it's just such an unhealthy coping mechanism to spend, spend, spend. One that Kyle and Jenny each seem to have as well.
