my boys started primary school this year. So far this year he has been to 8 birthday parties and im sure there are more to come.
We end up going to the local toy store every time to get a present to bring to the party. I usually spend in the region of £15 a party, plus a card. I am not bothered about the money it just that I am pretty sure that what we are buying is not what the kids wants.
Just want to know does anyone just give money to kids at birthdays. I was thinking of doing this in future: 1. it means the kid can put all its money together and the parent/s can go shopping and get what the kid really wants. 2. I dont have to go to toy shopping every week.
However I dont know the bad form on may part.
Any advice would be appreciated.
