[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me sad. Bringing in a flower led to a 20 minute drive? Do you live in the DMV? Cut a daffodil or camellia near your house. “Wear green” leads to a Target run? Just open your closet and wear your green raincoat or whatever might be silly but green. Twin day gives you angst? It’s supposed to be your kid talking to a friend at lunch and saying that they will wear leggings and headbands tomorrow. When you make all of these activities consumer-centric, then yes, it’s not that fun. Teach your kid to just make or make do in a more creative way. [/quote] This 100%. Unless it’s classroom or party supplies (which we get plenty of notice and a signup genius for), I don’t need to shop for any of these things. Everything doesn’t need to be Pinterest worthy - that’s your issue. [/quote]
