Liz Atwood laments the fact that her boys are getting tired of their Christmas gifts already in this week's Tween Tuesday.

There should be a rule against kids getting bored of their Christmas toys when holiday decorations are still up. That’s already happening in my house. Just 17 days after Christmas, the kids are wanting me to spend money on new clothes, books and gadgets.

The older boy wants a new backpack. The younger one is asking for a new book. Yes, all right, the strap on the old backpack is tearing. And what parent can refuse to give a kid a book? But couldn’t they have asked for those things a month ago?

Meanwhile, they’re already tired of the video games they bought with their Christmas money and the electric scooter from Santa hasn’t been touched in days.

Is this happening to you? I wish the Christmas gifts kept giving a little longer.
