My kids have so many toys I don’t know what I’m going to do for christmas!?
I have 2 girls, 2.5 year old and a 13 month old. They are 19 months apart..so to make matters worse the toys that I bought for my 2.5 year old…those same toys they still sell at the store! so its hard to find my 13 month old stuff. They have all the little playschool and fisher prices toys, you name it, building blocks, toy phones, kitchen, desk, barbies, toy animals, larger toys like a mower, vacum, doll house, bike, they have so much! and OTHER people buy them stuffed animals which i HATE, pointless things that just sit there an pile up. Anyways, they don’t have one of those indoor/outdoor playhouses, those cost $300 (grandma and grandpa and mommy are going 50/50 on the cost) but other than that…I don’t know what else to buy!! and my parents are going to think im cheap…btw they also have a ton of clothes, so they dont need clothes =( help =(
WOW…
You need to get away from the idea that you need to BUY THEM THINGS!
I’m from a family that felt that if you buy someone something, it is the same as giving them love and attention and that is FAR FAR FAR from the truth.
I would have given up all of my toys and accumulated crap if it meant that I would have been able to form an actual bond with my family!
Don’t think “STUFF”, think “Bonding Activity”.
A trip to the zoo… A picnic at the local park… Building a fort in the back yard… Baking cookies with mommy… A new book for you to read to them…
For every DOLLAR you wanted to spend ON them, turn that in to 10 minutes you want to spend WITH them.
I can assure you with all honesty that when they are grown and look back, they won’t be talking about how much shiny crap you bought for them…
Oh, and when they grow out of what they have now, don’t throw it away… Join the Freecycle Network and put what you have up under the “Offer” section and someone that needs baby toys, clothes, furniture, etc. will come to wherever you tell them to go and pick it all up from you.
And when you need more ‘grown up’ toys, clothes, furniture, etc. you post “Wanted” or answer an offer you find on there and all you have to do is go pick the stuff up at the person’s house.
