I guess she didn't hear us
First she and my SIL bought some stupid mouse that is dressed like an elf and covered in christmas lights that sings "do wa ditty ditty dum ditty do..." for my 8 month old. Dumbest most annoying thing I've ever seen. To think they wasted money on that! We left it at his great grandmas house. Today she said she couldn't help herself and she bought him another toy. She said it has "wonderful" flashing lights and it plays classical music. Better than "do wa ditty..." I guess. I'm so bummed. I don't want to offend Dh by tossing it in the closet either. He feels the same way I do but maybe not as strongly.
This woman... I swear. She asked if he would want this fake compter thing that has lights and all that garbage. I made a face (man, I am a nice person really! I try to smile and be sweet but damn! This woman is such a buzz kill!!!) and I told her Uh, no.
BTW, we took her and my FIL to a local store that has fantastic wooden toys and all sorts of GREAT stuff. We said we like for him to have wooden stuff. Ugh...
What will you do if you are unfortuate enough to get this crap for christmas for your dc.
Man that sounds ungrateful. I hope no one takes it the wrong way. I just HATE the consumerism and the crud that is marketed to our kids...especially this time of year.
