[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are being too hard on OP. I get it. I felt this way about Lego set gifts when my kid was 5 or so, because she couldnt put them together herself but doing it with her was so tedious to me. I know some people enjoy it but I don't. I love reading toy kid, doing any kind of arts and crafts, but ugh Legos.

It's not like OP is being rude to the person who have the gift. She's just venting about something that is annoying her. And in the process might cause others to think harder about getting more age appropriate gifts for kids-- this happens because people give gifts that are beyond the ability of the child.[/quote]

I don’t think extra thought will help though — I would love to do Lego sets or sewing or rainbow loom with my kid but absolutely do not want to play dolls with her and have a younger child so kind of hate things like marble runs where choking hazards are a big part of the toy.  Basically there what it comes down to is that every parent/kid duo will enjoy different toys as presents and parents are generally choosing stuff they enjoy doing with their kids and that isn’t universal.[/quote]
