Dd1 wrote her list a few weeks ago, most things on there are plastic tat, mainly boys toys as she's a tom boy but for her main present she wants a fish tank with guppies , dh is saying 'no' as she wont look after them and they are a lot of hastle. D1 dosn't really play with anything other than bakugan (she already has loads of these) and the pc. Me and dh would rather get her a note book or tablet but if she gets this she wont get much else, she's 7 so to her its more about having lots of tat rather than one thing that she will use every day.
So do i go behind dh's back and get her the fish tank (fish will have to come later when water has settled) or get her a tablet which she will probably use every day??
Her sister is getting the leappad thing and i have bought them a sylvanian house for them to share. I feel a bit guilty as i keep finding little things for dd2 (5) but nothing for dd1 as i don't want a house full of plastic that is only played with for one day and then stuffed in the toy cupboard (which is what happened last year).
