Hi Everyone! Help needed!

[Mummydoodle]

Hello,

Thankyou for taking the time to read this post! I have two small children, and for the past three years I feel we have gradually been drowning under an slowly increasing tide of toys. I have recently read Simplicity parenting, You are your childs first teacher and Heaven on Earth and I feel like I really want to change our family life. I have starting donating some of toys to charity shops and hiding some things away, but I feel I have a long way to go! I also have a slight problem with family continually buying toys and presents for my kids and I don't want to hurt their feelings by saying no. What do I do?

Has anybody here been in this situation? Any help or advice would be greatfully recieved!

Welcome to MDC!

As far as your huge amount of toys, I would maybe post in the Toddler forum about it and see what advice you get. I personally have not had any luck telling people to quit buying so much, but I would give some of the away, asap if they are taking up room or the kids dont play with them.
