[quote=Anonymous]I was uptight about gifts when my DD was younger and only did birthday in the spring, Christmas, and a rare toy in between. It was a stupid hill to die on but I wanted to prove that I was a “good” mom. Now I buy whenever I feel like the time is right. I said no or wait until Christmas/birthday for a few things that would have been so much better in the moment, especially during the late preschool years. Now in K I’m more likely to buy something (not shiny stuff like PP said- she can wait for Christmas to build her LOL Surprise doll army) soon after DD expresses interest because I want her to have the experience before the developmental stage passes. I regret being uptight about a few things she wanted for her baby doll, for example. I’m not sure why, but I made her wait months and even a year for items she repeatedly asked for. I wish I’d just let her have it so she’s have as much time as possible to enjoy it before she gets deemed “too old” for dolls.[/quote]
