[quote=Anonymous]Why are people bashing OP. I understand what she is saying. The GP did not get anything from the Amazon wishlist. OP took time and effort to put things at different price points. But they just went off to buy some toys that the kids did not enjoy.

As an aside, my inlaws take the kids shopping every few months. They come back with a lot of toys. So my kids feel like whatever they want, they act as if they can just go ask Grandpa to buy it for them.

Between those regular outings, the X-mas gifts from the relatives, the birthday presents from classmates, they get way too many toys. But the thing is, these toys are not necessarily the ones I would prefer my kids play with (so many Barbies! Character themed plastic crap. But since they already have too much, I feel like buy them what I would have preferred they play with is adding on to their slowly developing sense of entitlement. My older one is turning 7 next year, maybe it will be a good time to go the "No birthday gifts please" route. She is now old enough to understand and accept.
