He was sick of opening them! And only played with each item for a few minutes before discarding it for something more exciting. I feel kids engage more with one or two really imaginative toys, such as the sand pit I recently got him :-)<br />I worry about him being spoiled, as the grandparents are just crazy with him, so we did not get him anything from us, except a few choice items we got 2nd hand from a friend. But this year,while he's so little , and doesn't realise, I don't think we will get him anything, our family give him far too much and he never "needs" anything.allgrownuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558724767417950811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356144135215672208.post-17929544540880860302009-06-14T20:09:46.266+01:002009-06-14T20:09:46.266+01:00I agree with Amy, the cost and size of the present...I agree with Amy, the cost and size of the present isn't the important thing. Kids need love and attention not all the latest toys! Sometimes I buy mine something a bit expensive and all they want to play with is the 99p toys I bought for the party bags!!! The cheapest present is often the favourite xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754562741952800845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356144135215672208.post-65497423539786141532009-06-13T20:46:45.955+01:002009-06-13T20:46:45.955+01:00Thanks Amy...I know my Little Miss is getting sooo...Thanks Amy...I know my Little Miss is getting sooooo much love and attention from me and others that she's not hurting in that department at all. It is hard, though, when everyone else is getting tons of stuff. Maybe one day when we have won the lottery, eh? My Maternity Pay ended at the end of January so we've been living on 1 income since then...not pretty. I'm still shopping at Tesco though so I guess we're not too bad off! Cheers for the comment! :)<br />KarinKarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318173838549969893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356144135215672208.post-63511144012024706742009-06-13T19:46:40.534+01:002009-06-13T19:46:40.534+01:00Money isn't everything, my mum brought me up w...Money isn't everything, my mum brought me up with money = love but i never got shown any proper love or attention. <br /><br />I am in the same boat this month, it is my two eldest girls birthday's in July and hubby is off work sick and i'm on maternity pay (not a lot!) so we will have to cut down on the presents. <br /><br />It is hard to see other children getting everything they want but I believe that love and time together goes a long way, toys lose their interest after a while but love lasts forever...don't feel bad it sounds like you are a wonderful mother and no presents could replace that! x xand1moremeans5https://www.blogger.com/profile/05872366593739511282noreply@blogger.com
