So for context, we are 3 days into the Easter holidays and DS who is 2 yo has been unwell with a virus since the weekend. His temperature keeps spiking and he is having little bursts of energy and then will crash and will be quite shivery. DD is 5 yo and has been very patient and is "helping" me take care of him. I feel terrible that we haven't been able to go out and do all the fun stuff I've planned especially since the weather has been so sunny and warm, I just feel like we've been stuck inside most of the day (shes also a very active child who loves to be in motion). I've tried to fill our time with lots of crafts, baking, short jaunts out in the garden, playing with toys but we've also watched a lot of tv because DS has just not been well. Because of this she is only talking about disney princesses and keeps getting upset saying she wants 2 specific barbie dolls. I had planned to give DC a gift for Easter as well as chocolate as we are practising Christians and Easter is a very important holiday to us. It does seem a shame waiting until the last few days of the holiday to give her a toy (I will get her the disney barbie) but would IBU to give her it early in the holiday instead of wait to the end? The only thing that is putting me off is that she keeps begging for it and it kind of bugs me because she has a plethora of toys especially barbie dolls and I feel I do buy them little toys every so often. They're not spoiled but I do like to treat them and they have been given a lot of toys by family members (the only grandchildren on each side of the family). I don't want her to be spoiled and so the only thing that's putting me off is this begging and whining and her think she got it because she ground me down.
YABU make her wait
YANBU she's been very patient given the circumstances
