Well if he never argues and just says "OK dad"... then explaine to him that pets are not allowed in your apt building and that if/when you move into a place that allows pets, getting a dog would be considered more seriously.
As for all of those that say he is spoiled, you can't really tell without meeting the kid in person. Just because a person has a lot of things dosen't necessarly mean they are spoiled, if that was the case every child whos parents were loaded would be spoiled, and those that were in a lower income bracket wouldn't be? Lets get real, what was listed in the list of items in his room is not uncommon for many children to have, a computer is almost a necessity, the tv and game consoles are a permanent fixture in just about every home in america, bike/scooter/rollerblades... damn near every 7 yr old in the country has these.

this thread gave me a headache. thanks for nothin!
i think you have that correctly - there are only three places that a training dog can be refused to be let into - a restaurant kitchen, an operating room and a bomb shelter. all other places must allow them full access with no penalties, including landlords. there are of course, small stipulations for that, like some airlines won't let a puppy under 8 months onto flights, etc, but landlords and such can not refuse to let you train one of the dogs

Don't listen to these guys.
They are probably just jealous.
Spoiled kids throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. They have all the stuff they have because their parents give in and buy them what they want to get them to stop whining about it.
If your son is respectful and doesn't argue with you when you tell him no to something, then he is not spoiled at all.
At first, I was a little bothered by the fact that he has so many couch potato encouraging items(computer, tv, video games) in his own room. But from your other comments, It's pretty clear that he does NOT spend 6 hours a day staring at the tv or computer.
As far as the dog thing, I know what that is like. My kids and my wife and I had really wanted a dog for years but were unable to because we lived in rentals. We were finally able to get one when we bought a house a year and a half ago. My son is 9 years old now and I also have 3 daughters aged 6, 3, and 1 month, so they had to wait quite a few years. It's just something he will have to wait for. I know it sucks to not be able to have a dog, but you also have to realize that you are living in someone else's property and they have concerns about it's condition. It is irritating, but I don't think it makes the landlord an A$$.
