[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had it with the HUGE Christmas presents. Last year it was the Our Generation schoolroom, the year before that, the camper and Jeep, the Barbie dream house. This year, all she wants is the LOL ski resort. It’s $250! Enough is enough. While our DD isn’t spoiled—we don’t do gifts outside of holidays—she loves big ticket items that are expensive and take up a lot of space. She still plays with the aforementioned HUGE play sets. Even if she was to downsize, I am not spending $250 on a dollhouse. She doesn’t believe in Santa. Do I warn her ahead of time that she won’t be getting this toy? Have her make an alternate list?[b] Do we just move to the “want/wear/read/need” method of gift giving without warning? [/b][/quote]
If it's the only thing she wants, then it's still part of the want/wear/read/need list.

Can you not afford it or you don't like the way it looks?  If you cannot afford it, then warn her ahead of time.  If you can afford it, let her have it. It's just a short period of time, and she still plays with the other stuff.[/quote]
