Astrid I am exactly the same, I am having to tell the kids before we go to the shops that we aren't there to buy them anything because they constantly sook and ask for so much. I've brought it upon them because I will often just grab a little this or that but they don't know the difference. Good luck hun - i am thinking I might bring in pocket money for mine as well so they appreciate saving money, working for it, (some chores will just be ones they HAVE to do as opposed to them being linked to pocket money I think!) and hopefully we will work through it!
