[quote=Anonymous]It’s great you got a good result, and your DH and DD spent time together. Sucks this was a bad gift for your family. But as I think this thread has shown, “bad gift” is unfortunately not universal. Some parents like doing craft projects for their kids (I make doll clothes on demand; I expect my 5yo would have loved making me do this gift and I’d have had a good time too), while other like you prefer things that facilitate independent play. I hate getting anything super messy because we have wall to wall carpeting and no outdoor space, but I bet you’d love some of those toys. Some “normal toys” don’t work for me because of my kids interests, my preferences, my living situation, etc etc etc. That doesn’t mean they’re universally bad presents. I think if you’d phrased it as “I hate these types of presents” rather than “never give these presents ever” you’d be getting a lot more sympathy.[/quote]
