I decided to start this blog because I sometimes feel like I want to know if others feel like I do about average stuff. I have thought about this for a long time and today was the last straw for me. I needed to share.....
I was shopping for my 7 year old daughter's birthday and could not believe how much "kids stuff" costs. She is only 7 and it was hard to find a descent gift under $20. Let me clarify and say, a descent gift that she asked for. These were selected based on the TV commercials she sees and the toy catalogs we get in the mail. I was in a store we all shop at to look for a walking talking puppy. It was over $45.00! This for a stuffed animal. It may be a great stuffed animal but isn't that a bit much? DVDs she wanted were all $24.99 or more. She is a normal little girl looking for age appropriate stuff for her birthday. Now I am faced with spending the money or disappointing my daughter. This is why "kids stuff" cost so much. We have no way to share our thoughts with someone who really cares about our feedback. So we just keep buying.
How did it end? Not well, I ended up not getting many gifts today. I went home feeling very irritated and as disappointed. Just like I think my daughter will be when she doesn't get the things she wanted most for her special day!
How is that right?? Anyone else feel the same or am I just having a bad day!!!
