I'm pleased that I don't have a DD asking for designer clothes or labelled anything or an iPod or a mobile phone which is better than her twenty quid "functional" model but it drives me mad that she sees things in shops and will say she'd like them for Christmas.
Example: We were buying a TV in Argos and she saw a thing on offer with a baby doll, bottle, (I am still BF DS aged 2.5 ), dummy, bib and said she would put it on her list. She has had countless baby dolls and accessories. All lost or damaged or thrown out in toy culls un-noticed.
We got her a DS Lite in June for her birthday and she uses it every day. Would really like to get her something along those lines, not necessarily a console but something she will actually use.
Failing that, books, DVDs, games, creative and science things but I'm worried by how she seems to want to play with age inappropriate stuff. Should I just get her a load of breakable shite from Pound-Stretcher which seems to be her preference, or, as the adult, try to extend her interests? It's getting a bit stressful knowing what to do tbh.
