💭 thoughts??

Why does an 8 year old need a £700 computer anyway?
That seems like an excessive present especially if he’s struggling to afford it like it’s not necessary x

Next year will be a boat 🤣

🤣🤣 did she ask for the computer? X

I’m confused, can he afford it or not???

My partner doesn't even have a gaming setup that costs that much, let alone one of the kids in the house 🤷

It’s his money (I assume) and his daughter, so it’s up to him if he wants to get her this gift, and what we all think about it is neither here nor there. But if you as his partner are worried about your finances as a couple and think that money from this gift needs to be spent elsewhere or saved, I would raise that with him.

If he’s made of money, he can get whatever he wants. If he’s worried about money, he should absolutely rethink how he can put this money to better use. Get 100 of presents and put 600 in a savings account

It’s his daughter, if he wants to buy it her, his choice x

Sounds like he’s getting a new gaming computer for himself and calling it a childs present.

Is this really for the daughter, or is really his own new toy? 🤨😅

Is it on special price or normal price?
Did he save up for it or just carelessly spending?
Is it a need or a want...
She's only 8. Why not wait till she's 10/ 11 years old...

Sounds like an excuse to get a new better spec PC. An 8 year old does not need a £700 computer. My partner built his own gaming PC for a bit more than that but that was 4 years ago and it’s still going good. My daughter plays her princess games on it. He could just let her use his when she wants to. If he’s complaining about money you’d expect him to have some common sense on that this would not be an ideal purchase and something smaller more fun and aimed for an 8 year old would be better suited. You don’t need to buy massive expensive presents to be a good parent x

700 prebuilt or custom built 700? Custom 700 can go a decent way. Honestly depends on that.

For a prebuild- too expensive and she won't be able to run anything anyway. Essentially a waste of money.

I’m not even sure if he can or not I’m confused here too! 😅

nope, she’s hasn’t asked anything for her birthday, because she got already everything… 😭

you right, but he had a go at me when I told him I found a desk for £50 (which I need) and he said I could help him out with the birthday present or bills. (That £50 was from my birthday and I already pay for all the food and water. I don’t work yet) I’m already doing my present to her (from “woman to woman”. I love it my mum use to do it with me every time)
But to be honest I would be happy to help him out on buying something less expensive because I personally find that price ridiculous.

definitely yes! I wouldn’t do it for my child in the first place, unless I’m made of money. But no, £700 I think is a bit too much in our conditions. Plus I don’t think they really need it at that age.

I know 😭😭😭
