To think if you loved someone...

You wouldn't give their child glitter.

Obviously lighthearted but I thought I was going to be a "Fun Mum" and bought DD1 a load of glitter when they were a toddler. In the instant the first lid was popped I knew I had made a massive mistake and vowed to never let glitter into our house again. But I couldn't bring myself to throw it out because environment so it took years of occasionally dipping into it to eventually, finally, be glitter free.

Then enters my DSis who so generously gave my children a bumper glitter pack this week...for no reason other than that she secretly hates me perhaps?! So I'm now stood in a kitchen which has had an explosion of glitter, having just scrubbed my children's hands to try to stop it travelling elsewhere, and am seriously wondering what counter attack I will launch on my DSis.

So
YABU - Chill out, what's the issue with glitter? It makes your life sparkle.

YANBU- you should never buy glitter for someone's child because it is a form of torture.

Surely that's what hoovers were invented for

There is a very good reasons why glitter is known as craft herpes - once you’ve got it, you can never get rid of it.

Can I suggest you buy her child a drum kit, @Elisannah.

Tub of Lego type blocks.

Their ability to travel and appear on the floor anywhere you walk in bare feet is awesome.

Don't ask me how I know.

@Biblionerd 's idea is better

My dc all went to nursery part time, while there dc were able to enjoy the delights of glitter without it being in my house (after all I Payed the nursery good money to do so)!

Exactly, I am not opposed to my children dabbling in glitter. Just not in my house.

Maybe with a thin layer of glitter on the surface of the drums so it makes a beautiful sparkly cloud every time it's hit

You have obviously never tried hoovering up glitter

Do you have a garden at all? Maybe you could ban the use of it inside

@Biblionerd

You need to get the kids to make a HUGE glitter bomb card for their aunty as a thank you for the gift. Get that shitty glitter posted, first class, back to her home 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤫
