[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS had his 6 th birthday party with a small group of friends from school. One of them gave him a toy gun with bullets. Our family philosophy is not to give anything related to guns to our children. DS opened his gifts towards the end of the party and when he found this we looked at each other with huge disappointment. It was very difficult to say Thank You for such crap. With so many educational gift options out there, I honestly wonder why people have wrong idea of giving a gun to a 6 y o.

I agree OP. This has happened to us more than once. We explain to DD why this is an inappropriate gift (she knew after the first time) and we throw it out. End of Story. The key is talking to your child though. [/quote]

I am so curious what parents say to kids that get a nerf blaster, that you believe those kids truly understand and "get it"?  I think most just nod and think you are nuts since 99% of the population has weapon toys as kids and aren't going nuts and shooting up the streets once they hit teens or adulthood.  [/quote]
