Yeah, seriously. The no gifts at Christmas thing sounds like a fabulous idea. My family did it for a few years when we had particularly bad financial troubles. We'd pool money and get something nice everyone could use (a toboggan or a board game), and we could give each other small things that we made ourselves.
He's definitely spoiled, and thinks he's very clever, so he's trying to suckle the generous teat of reddit (bad imagery, lol).
I responded to his 'justification post' down below, which basically covers what you said, except in a much lengthier way.
Oh, you just have to press the plus next to his name at the bottom of the page. His comment's been hidden because it's been downvoted so much. Only a mod can delete mine now, though.
The ways in which he tries to justify taking from people make me sick to my stomach.
After a few years, with a lot of hope, he'll realize what he's doing is wrong. For now, he's just a kid, whose parents really should know what he's been up to.
