My daughter turns 7 next week? |
A couple of months ago I asked her if she would like a bike or lots of smaller things and she decided she wanted a bike . I made it very clear if she got a bike that would be all she got and she said she really wants a new bike . The other day she asked me if I had all her birthday presents wrapped and I reminded her about the bike and she got quite grumpy expecting more presents.I am sick of buying my children smaller presents that get lost or dammaged am I being grumpy by sticking to my guns and not getting her anything but the bike? she will get a box of chocolates and a barbie helmet to go with it but she expects toys too! should I stick to my guns or should I get her some toys too? Stick to your guns on this one defiantly. Maybe go through toys she don't play with anymore and donate them to a women's battered shelter or homeless shelter. Let her be involved in the process. It may make her realize that there are other children even in her hometown that are not as fortunate as her. It is very heartwarming when our children grow a little on the inside. You should stick to your guns, otherwise she will always expect more (spoiled)... Remind her that you had that chat with her... no. stick to your guns. you're the parent so you have to act like one. your children will benefit from discipline, trust me. remind her gently but firmly that she made the choice so she has to stick to it. children are great manipulators and it's hard saying no but you don't want to raise brats, do you? Stick to your guns. Simply tell your child that you warned her, but she did not accept your other offer. yes you should stick to your guns i have been though this with my kids its like x mass it stoped being about family and turned into a day of opening gifts we spent the hole day with the kids opening gifts but by bed time and the next morning they could not remember what they got so this year it will be more about what they do for others and less about what they get i think you are doing the right thing for her she will get other small gifts from family members give yourself a hug and relax we have to teach our children that holidays are not about how much money you spend its about the love behind the gift stick to your guns or she will learn you don't mean what you say. She had a choice and she made it. You should tell her she is lucky to be even receiving presents. My kids turn 8 on Sunday. For christmas I bought a PS2 for my son and told them both as it is expensive it is also their birthday present. They are both happy with that and expect nothing from me for their birthday. Mine usually only get a present worth about $20 as they also get a party and that is a part of their present so they think they were damn lucky as they are getting a party as well as the PS2. Your daughter needs to be happy with what she gets. She made the choice and now she has to live it. Explain that there are kids out there who would be lucky to even get a cake on their birthday. stick to your guns-life is about choices, consequences-we have b-day parties without presents-the deal is if he(my just turned 7yo) has a BIG party then no presents from friends-if he has one buddy then the buddy can give him a gift-that way we focus on fun, not gifts. |
