oh dear, LEM reminds herself AGAIN to read the whole thread before posting. This has kicked off big styleeeeee.
DWP, i dont think you are being a brat, i think you have a problem with your MIL trying to score points by ignoring your pov. DS has the toy now, and to be fair, the thomas toys are good quality and imo, will stand the test of time, see my last post. I hate thomas books though, have to read at least one a night - uggghh.
I wouldnt have made my initial comment though as it is trite and meant jokingly, i didnt realise you had got upset about this.
I recognise that on the surface, one could be forgiven for thinking you brattish, but we all know how bloody manipulative MILs can be and how us mums take it too heart too. FWIW my mum buys DD anything and everything, all from charity shops, which is great, well it would be, but we hardly have room to move anymore - i try to explain, DD is too old/its too big/its fucking horrible...she just comes up with, oh but its only a pound - grrrr. Mildly irritating i guess, my dad was even worse, i daresay that if he were still about i would need a second house to store all the toys
