Hello out there! We got our DS a brand new bike today and told him it was an early birthday present. He needed one badly as he had a 2nd hand one which was awful so to have a brand new bike is a huge thing. His 4th birthday is in November. My question is should he have had it this early or should we have waited? A bit late now i guess as he's got it and loves it! Are we spoiling him as he's our only child? He has got alot of toys but we have a reward system where he earns pennies towards what he wants. The problem is everything is so bloody expensive!! This bike has to be his only present as it's a big present. I think tbh it's a good job we haven't got any more kids as there's no way we could afford another! The baby years are easy and cheap ..it's as they get older and want more stuff! Would love to hear your thoughts on the subject
