I do know that I don't need them

as friends or my  life is going to end if they don't like me.  I never was a people magnet. If they don't want to be my best friend or hang out regularly that is fine, but I don't see why they cannot be friendlier at B-day parties, school events or stuff like that.  To each his own.  My child gets along with all their kids.  She really doesn't see rich kid, poor kid, upper class kids, lower class kids, she just sees kids and that is how they view her, as a kid.  The boy did not say, mom take me home now so I can play with  my Wii.  He wanted to stay and play with dd and the other kids.  

Yes, this kid is an only child which is probably why he gets so much. I have 2.  I cannot afford a Wii except on credit and I don't want to do that.  I did consider it once, I was looking at one with dd and she was not interested at all.  She wanted to go down the isle where the dolls were and the art projects were.  I asked her if she even knew what that was.  She said "Yeah! that is a Wii.  We play it in the afterschool program when it is raining outside."  She just doesn't seem interested.  She does like the board games and that game of Go Fish and Old Maid I got her. 

I never really knew what a Wii or an Xbox was until 6 months ago.   I knew what Playstation was.  When I was a teen I thought they were annoying because of all the bleep bleep bleep.. and kids sitting there like zombies.  I never thought about them again until recently and noticed that they have all advanced since I was a teen.  But, I am still out of it.  Someone was talking about a Guitar Hero and I thought it was a song from the 70s.  It took me a while to realize that was some sort of game.
