[A Rant] Stop buying my kid stuff
Disclaimer: I know we're fortunate to have so many people willing to gift things to my son and us. we're fortunate to be loved and have a large community.... but
for the love of all the gods stop buying my kid stuff! he has so much that I'm overwhelmed with the clutter. between our things and his things my house is overflowing.
he's 14M old and he has so many things!!! more then me and my husband combined I'm sure. I still have things from Christmas and his birthday in February that we haven't even opened! THEN easter comes around and he got 5 EASTER BASKETS and none of them were from us, his parents!! his favorite toys are paper cups and a shoe horn and do you know what his favorite toys are after the random things in the Easter baskets? paper cups and a shoe horn.
I'm tired of taking things to donation and the work of putting things up for free on marketplace. I'm tired of dealing with all the crap. I'm tired of finding places for all the things. I already need to move all the adult/breakable things because the kid is a tornado, now I need to find a spot for the 100th car that we don't even use.
I keep telling people not to give him anything that he has enough stuff, but it keeps coming!!!
