Too many toys and Angry

If you can deal with the fall out literally bundle it up and give it to charity tomorrow. They won't stop though so this would make it quite clear....😬

Explain how many individual children they made happy by giving it away!🤷🏼‍♀️

@Alex I'm not sure I'll tell them but I seriously need to be more explicit next year.

I tried and did a list on thingstogetme.com which was followed for his birthday, but not Christmas! So I gave very specific things we needed/wanted for him. Could be worth a try in the future and you can always say it’s to prevent doubling up!

I hear you, but end of the day they just got excited. It’s not that deep

It’s ok to be overwhelmed, I save extra toys to give to friends or donate somewhere specific. Instead of asking for specifuc things I found just saying ‘please only get them one present max for thier birthday / Christmas as we don’t have that much space!’ Remember people think they’re being kind and meaning well ❤️

My daughters birthday was also the 22nd we also have had a huge influx of toys but I just see it as im so grateful to have such a big support network and am so grateful for every present she received and she won’t be this small again…..

I’m sorry this may sound harsh but it’s nobody’s job to supply your child with anything. I would have rather had more clothes to we just had a bday and Christmas but my house is full of toys! I’m grateful people showed up for him and brought gifts especially those who brought separate birthday then Christmas gifts because I worry his bday will be overshadowed. I know it sucks to receive toys instead of gift cards or clothes but it really is the thought that counts. Any double or extras we are sending to my moms for my son to have toys there we got one toy three times! We gave one to my mom and one to my sister in law.

Not to sound harsh but yeah you’re a bit insensitive to be angry about people gifting your baby things. Yes the baby may only be 1 but toys are important for development. I asked for some clothes, some books, some toys I was grateful for whatever anybody bought because they had no obligation.

Let’s swap cause my partners family didn’t even say happy birthday to our son and forgot about him, and apart from one couple the presents for his birthday didn’t exist and Christmas was almost nothing from anyone and most people got him nothing. I’m glad my family were overly generous but it doesn’t make up for it imo
