The dcs were brought to a toy shop by dps sister yesterday, she recently came into some money and this is her first time seeing the kids since so she went mad and got them loads of stuff, i had sent dp to control the situation but rather predictably that plan failed
ds1 got 3/4 Ben 10 toys and dd got a play doh ice cream maker thing, polly pocket dolls and a lego police station.
The lego is the issue, dd is 4... she's good at that sort of thing but no where near ready for proper lego. (the recommended age is 6-12)
The set is fantastic, and expensive, and i really think if it's opened now she'll not be able to enjoy it much and with 2 younger brothers there's no hope of it remaining intact by the time she is old enough. That said i think it's something she will love in a year or so and be far more able for so i've suggested to her that i keep it for her until she's older and buy her something else for now and while she's not delighted with the idea she's not really upset either.
Problem is i feel like the mean mommy yet again stealing her new toy that her auntie bought her
