I like the concept of imaginative play, but don't toys stimulate that? I don't have children,so I may be way off base. I remember making up epic battles of G.I. Joes vs. Barbies with my brother! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daddy-why-dont-you-buy-me-any-toys#post-1406970 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 10:37:02 +0000 LBee 1406970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your response made me almost spit out my drink I laughed so hard.

I just say. No and we move on. </p> <p>I admit we have way too many toys and they have four very over indulgent grandparents. But I think it really comes from having three the same age, because. Every birthday and Christmas is triple the toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daddy-why-dont-you-buy-me-any-toys#post-1405899 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 22:47:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1405899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah I love your response! that's so funny. </p> <p>I don't really buy J any toys unless it's his birthday or Christmas!

I told him that the greatest gift of all was using your imagination. He was not impressed.</p> <p>Do you buy your kids a lot of toys? Do they ever ask for more toys? </p>
