[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is turning 8 soon. I got her a fancy origami book that is $14 and comes with origami paper. Plus I will give her a gift certificate from me to her saying we can have a baking afternoon. [/quote]

Is this all your dd is getting for her bday?  Or does she have gifts from family and friends too?  My dd would cry her eyes out if this was all she got for her bday.[/quote]

Um, I'll let her pick out what we make for dinner. I bet a couple of her girlfriends at school will make her cards and include little trinkets (last year her friend gave her a pretty rock she'd painted). A couple of times teachers have given her a cool pencil or something, so she might get that.

Is it possible that your DD is used to getting a lot more? If so, that would explain why she would cry her eyes out if she went from getting a slew of presents to one. My DD has always gotten one present on her birthday, so this is where her expectation level is. [/quote]

I am glad your dd is that way, that seems nice, but what about when all the little girls get together at school and start saying, I have 3 american girl dolls, an ipad, an  x box, and three million toys. Doesn't your dd feel a little bad to have only gotten a book and a pencil and a rock for her bday?  For goodness sakes.  I grew up in a family of 8 kids, and we were poor, but I still got more than one book for my bday.[/quote]
