Toys Gifts
How do I stop my kids from giving me their toys as gifts all the time?
I feel bad rejecting their “presents” but they keep putting together baskets of small toys and giving them to me when they are things (both gifts that others gave them that are valuable and other junky toys as well). It’s not like I can just throw them away.
How do I handle this?? HELP!!! I don’t want to seem rejecting or unappreciative!!
Hi!
You must be a good Mom that they would like to give you so many gifts. I think it makes a difference as to how old they are. 2 to 4 years? Are they gifts from the holidays or Birthdays? Some times Kids get gift burnout around holidays. I really don`think that they would feel rejected or that you are unappreciative If you told them that you could not except them because they were given to them and Auntie or
Grand Ma would be hurt that they would give them away.
I don`t think it will go on for very long anyway. I think that you can discreetly, with out them knowing, put them back into their rooms or shelves or toy boxes after a week or so.
If they find them and question you about them, tell them simply that you put them there because that is where toys go when you are not playing with them now.
Good Luck!
