my kids were of school for 7 weeks. they had extra week of due to building works. i have 4 kids. i don't get a break at all. i dont have parents or anyone like that to gve me a break. getting towards the end of the 7 weeks the kids are getting bored and im just about ripping my haor out. so i have had a bit of a moan now and then.

This morning i said to friend what can i get ds for his 10th birthday. she said your getting him a play station. so get him clothes he is older now he dont need toys. i said but he like's toys she then said no wonder your kid's play up their spoilt. i just said how much do you spend on your dd's birthday and she says about 70.00 i said thats probably about what i would spend, but i will buy 2nd hand and i dont spend 30.00 on a game. and her kids have all the name brand stuff. think to get a 3 year old a ds and a 30.00 game is over the top. not saying im right just what i think. and i think she has a cheek to call my kids spoilt!!! not saying she should not have brand name things good luck to her. but dont call my kids spoilt!!!!!

WorraLiberty · 12/09/2012 13:02

Ok so what did your friend say when you told her never to call your child spoilt?

msnaughty · 12/09/2012 13:03

clipped: yes it pissed me of. more so because how much money she spends on her own children. and i did not like it that she was implying my 10 year old is to old for toys

gordyslovesheep · 12/09/2012 13:03

I am guessing you buying them stuff is low on the list of reasons they play up

crikeybill · 12/09/2012 13:04

Agree with cheesesarnie the 1st paragraph and 2nd dont appear to have anything to do with each other ?

Are you asking whether you are being unreasonable on how much you spend ?
How much your friend spends ?
Whether she is unreasonable for saying your kids are spoilt ?
Whether YOU are unreasonable for being offended ??

huh ??

imnotmymum · 12/09/2012 13:05

I would have just agreed and said yes they are, bugs people a whole lot more. I would not worry OP and was not being rude about your post.

WorraLiberty · 12/09/2012 13:05

WTF is a Playstation if it's not a toy? Confused

I'm thinking about reintroducing my afternoon naps.....

msnaughty · 12/09/2012 13:06

worra: i just said to her what would you spend on your dd. she said about 70.00 i wanted to point out that my child is really know different to hers. just that we do things in different ways.

OP posts:
crikeybill · 12/09/2012 13:06

Ahhh ok...

Just ignore her. Who cares. Spoil away.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 12/09/2012 13:07

have you bought a play station for your ds' birthday and wanted to buy another toy?

How old is ds?

could it be that your friend has had you complain for the last 7 weeks that the children have been playing up all the time and she did not put it very diplomatically that you have spoiled them.

Vagaceratops · 12/09/2012 13:08

You are getting him a play station and toys and you are spending less than £70.

Well done you.

Tweasels · 12/09/2012 13:08

Sorry msnaughty. I Had remembered another thread that I think was by you about a friend who helps you decorate (I think). Just recognised your style.

Is this the same friend?

msnaughty · 12/09/2012 13:09

the first paragraph was just pointing out that i have had a bit of a moan about my kid. and then that it felt she had used that to throw as me by saying my kids are spoilt.

a playstation is a toy but he is allowed more than one toy.

OP posts:
DozyDuck · 12/09/2012 13:09

I get it.

Op has moaned about her kids playing up in the holidays and her friend then said that this was because she buys them toys for their birthday.

Just ignore friend.
