To think that bang snaps/fun snaps are not suitable for a 6 year old?

Although I don't massively approve of him lavishing her with plastic tat / sweets / kids makeup / lack of disciplining I turn a blind eye as understand his desire to spoil/please her when he sees her and feel that the impact (as it stands at the moment) is minimal.

I opened DD's backpack yesterday which she takes to her dads every other weekend when she stays with him and do und a small box of those bang snaps - you know the little twists of paper filled with a small amount of chemical that bang when you throw them on the floor.

Firstly they have a big "not to be used or sold to under 16's" sign on the box, assuming due to them basically being a small firework! And secondly I absolutely hate the things, they make me jump a mile when someone throws one anywhere near me.

Am I being unreasonable to confiscate them and tell XH not to buy them for her again?

They work best in the dark, so you can see the flash Grin my ds was transfixed by some kids with them in Blackpool, was happy as larry when I brought him some!
