[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 487388"] It's a basic laptop. Snagged a great package at best buy. He does need it for school-his current one is 6 years old & barely chugging. He is a chemistry major Fwiw Grandma is getting all her (6) grandkids an iPad this year. A splurge for sure-but the gkids are in college or soon to be (except easy child 14) and she wanted to knock their socks off! Like us, she felt conflicted about difficult child's gift too but how could she exclude him? And no one wants to give him cash. I don't know if he's sold his few pieces of religious jewelry. I hope not but try to be realistic. I talked to h about this before we fell asleep and he too is glad difficult child is feeling the pinch. And he reminded me that we had been concerned that difficult child was playing too much & studying too little. Now difficult child's "toys" are gone. He wants to hope it means he is getting his act together-priorities straight. On a positive note, he texted me first tonight. Just a "hey mom, be home next Saturday, I love you." Time will tell... But I am NOT a patient woman. Probably why I am obsessing a bit right now. I want my "son" back-not the difficult child. [/QUOTE]
