Me and my DD are quite active, there’s barely a day when we stay at home - it’s how we both like it. She goes to nursery two days a week whilst I work but on the three days we are alone and the weekends when DH is off we do swimming, soft play, farms, visit friends, playing imaginative games outside, crafts, making slime, baking etc. We do try and have one day at home a week but we usually still end up having a park trip / nature walk or something like that.
I get bored being at home and so does she so that’s just what works for us!
She has what I class as a lot of toys at home, I already feel like my house is super cluttered!
So me and DH had an idea the other day that for her upcoming birthday next month we wouldn’t be buying loads of toys, we would probably buy one token toy, some books (he loves reading!) and spend the rest of the birthday budget on experiences for her (there’s a live show she wants to go and watch, a soft play pass, money towards days out etc)
Our reasoning being that we are never at home anyway, it’s terrible for the environment, I value experiences over things and want to raise DD with the same morals. A lot of what I call ‘plastic tat’ just gets lost or broken or never played with.
My friends have a lot of toys for their kids and seem to buy loads more for Christmas and birthdays!
My BIL and SIL came round with their kids today and SIL said to her kids ‘oh it’s a shame that (DS) doesn’t have as many toys as us’ I was a bit like 
but now I’m wondering if I come across as a tight mother?
