I've already done a small purge and may yet do a second round. A few toys will be donated straight away. He plays better when he can focus, and no one can focus siting in a sea of toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324321 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 07:51:07 +0000 Adira 1324321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, Xander's not even 1 and I feel like this already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324320 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 07:49:35 +0000 Smurfette 1324320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is taken over our living room.

He better keep it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324258 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:07:47 +0000 Andrea 1324258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Yeah, I can't handle it. I don't think my kids have a lot of toys, but it is still a lot. Ya know? They creep in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324212 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 02:04:41 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1324212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the reason why I'm the meanest mom ever and actually put away toys on Christmas day. She hardly even got anything new, but I just couldn't keep up with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324205 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:38:38 +0000 StbHisMrs 1324205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toys haunt me in my dreams, then I wake up and see more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324201 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 01:24:43 +0000 Running Elley 1324201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I can totally relate!

DH hates clutter and thinks we can avoid having kids stuff in the living room of our small house... Even when #2 gets here. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324179 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:39:25 +0000 AprilFool 1324179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally what my lounge room looks like today. Hurricane Harriet has run her course. Who knew being a mum meant picking up the same thing 1000 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324156 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 00:08:05 +0000 Zbug 1324156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't even old enough yet for toys and I feel like this is happening.

And you don't want to be the one trying to weed out the plastic crap that came from chuck e. Cheese or some cake topper the kid somehow acquired! It is not pretty. He found a half inflated ballon in the recycling and insisted on reclaiming it :( hoarder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reality-of-parenting-toys#post-1324110 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 23:27:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 1324110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!</p> <p>Image link if you can't read it: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/tVb0b.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/tVb0b.png</a></p> <p>[attach=1866/14/mz0ke0.292x600.tVb0b.png] </p>
