Getting twitchy about DS1's present

DS1 (5) is a LEGO obsessive and loves the Star Wars collection in particular. Ever since he discovered it's existence, he has asked for the Death Star for Christmas. Fine, until you realise it's £275!

DH rejected the idea immediately, saying it was far too expensive. It's not that DS couldn't build it (he's done big LEGO models before), but the fact it's so expensive. He's bought one of the smaller ship models (around £75) for DS for Christmas and says if DS really wants the Death Star he should save for it.

I was fine with this, but now I'm getting twitchy about it. DS doesn't stop going on about it, has written it on his Christmas list etc. I'm feeling a bit mean as he's not getting loads of stuff (his relatives give money due to distance), a couple of LEGO things and a stocking. It's not like we can't afford it, but DH thinks it's too extravagant and the same cost as a really nice bike etc.

Help me keep my resolve!

I am twitching badly today, could not sleep last night trying to remember what I have bought the dd's, panicking that one will have more than the other and panicking that dd2 wont like her presents as she is so obsessed with one thing so might not want to touch anything else (she has ASD).

I have bought plenty and all will be fine (keep telling myself this over and over), they will get money from grandparents so can buy anything the wanted and didn't get, all will be fine .

If he is anything like my girls - they get so caught up in the actual spirit of Christmas and all the other stuff they get they forget the thing they really wanted. He is still little - I bet he'll be pleased with the other lego
