[quote=Anonymous]This is a "know your kid" sort of call. I avoided it for a few years, but eventually my then 2nd grader old was despondent that she didn't have an Elf. Partly because the other 7 year olds hadn't learned that maybe it's not polite to brag about things like that, partly because my kid has so much FOMO it's exhausting. So I gave in. It's a pain, but mostly manageable and does bring her a LOT of joy - even now 5 years later. Especially because December is a slog until school is out. I know the vast majority of DCUM can stand firm and have highly evolved children who understand and accept that life is unfair. Alas, I can't and don't, at least when it comes to that elf. When it's 11pm, I'm exhausted and the house is a mess and I can't think of a dang thing to do with the elf, I console myself knowing that at some point, when my future grandbabies are 4 or 5, grandma is going to tell them all about their mommy's elf and maybe she'll visit them!
