SO proud of my DD...maybe she is growing up

[katymac]

We have been having never ending arguments about just about everything and yesterday after long discussions my mum gave her a teddy bear if she will give away someof her old ones.

Well I set a target of keeping 20 (which is quite reasonable) and without any arguments she has sorted out 22 for charity and 20 for childminding

I have given in and allowed her to keep 30 (which is a fair swop for the 42 she has got rid of)

Not bad - no arguements - no tears - no hassle

deep sigh of relief

Good for you Katymac!!

Diplomacy at it's best!

How can any child have 72 cuddly toys

Fantastic! How old is she?

Desperately need to do similar with ds1 (aged 4) whose soft toys are taking over his room... sigh

Nearly 8 I used the upcoming birthday as a lever too

Ah - you mean I have to wait four years before some sort of sense arrives?

and only a small bit of sense at that!
