My little will get some of what she wants, certainly not everything.

Must be nice to be able to give your child everything on her list instead of struggling to keep it all together.

Santa’s list is always a guide for us and the children have been told that Santa has the items cheaper then the store and will only deliver one item. All children have understood this and the younger ones are too now.

My kids get a fee things from Santa, not a list or anything though… Maybe one or a few presents depending in the price

Santa only ever left one gift, as he has all the other children in the world to give to as well. That is the belief we grew up with and i did the same with my children and i wish they would do the same with theirs, lol.

we’ve always said that santa can leave up to two presents as there are lot of kids in the world that santa has to give presents too,and then we explain that you also get present from mummy,daddy grandma etc.

At our house Santa gives our children 3-4 gifts and then they receive the same amount off us. This all depends on the value of the gifts though.

It seems this behaviour has been ingrained into little Suri from the moment she was born. For years we have been hearing stories of her dictating to her parents and of her demands and how indulged she is. I have about as much time for reading stories about Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise as I do the Kardashian clan. I had a friend who’s child was treated in the same manner as Suri Cruise and seems to have some rather demanding indulged habits. I love children, but it can be incredibly difficult to be around when you know the parents are the real problem and not the child.

  well yeah she is just a product of her up-bringing. i know that tabloids like to pick on these celeb children so i do wonder how much is just made up to sell magazines. it is very easy to make assumptions too and i don’t personally know these people so i couldn’t say whether or not, this child is a little diva like they claim lol i do agree that we should instill values and morals into our children and hold those in higher worth than material possessions

I know it would be hard raising a child when you work in the entertainment industry with unlimited funds, however this is simply another spoilt child who has no idea of the value of possessions and what Christmas is all about, she is fortunate to be in the position that she is in but I certainly do not envy her.

Santa fills one very small stocking. Any other gifts come from friends and family.

well my eldest daughter just wrote her list and she didn’t ask for a single thing for herself—just toys for her siblings! she is a little darling. i think that i would — i mean santa…. would compramise on the list and see how far that the elves budget will go lol

I feel sorry for kids growing up in a rich family, they wouldn’t grow up feeling the same want and appreciation for things the average class people do.

wow spoiling children never goes well.
in our house santa brings a stocking full of little things chocolates and stuff and 1 BIG present from the her christmas list.

My kids are still a little young to really have lists, my 3 year old will only start getting a proper idea about Santa this year I expect. When they are old enough to be doing lists, I won’t be getting every single thing off it. Even if I had the money to buy the whole list, it’s just not necessary!!

As a kid I definitely never got all the items on my list! Probably some years I didnt get anything off it! But I was never ever disappointed either.
Well ok, maybe a little disappointed that Santa NEVER brought me the real horse I asked for every year. You’d think santa could have fit one on his sleigh for me!!

We always told our kids that they shouldn’t expect everything they had wanted & to be grateful with what they got from Santa. I’m sure they never went without things but they learnt early not to ask for too much.

Suri is doing very well. It is her parents who will have to deal with the issues later on. We have just started Santa this year. Only verbal lists this year.

We keep to the “Something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read” theme. How that coincides with the Santa wishlist changes yearly, but generally they will get at least one thing off the list, and never all

I have a fairly good idea of what to get my son as I listen and write things down throughout the year. He does make a list and I’m usually fairly well spot on, but he always loves the extras that he hadn’t thought of!!

We don’t do Santa at the moment either- why should he get all the credit for all the hard work and effort as well as money that the parents earn through working and buying the presents?

My kids are a wee bit too young at the moment to understand anyway !

poor suri cruise never had a chance from the day she was conceived. they have raised a spoilt little brat who will cost them a fortune. its unfortunate
