Kids toys......

Oh my, Last week I was so busy that I only had time to keep up with the most basic of stuff.
​So my kids had a ball and made a mess in their room that I couldn't even get in there to put away clothes.
​By the end of the week, when I did have a few hours, I spent it in the little girls room and my sons room.


Why do we hold onto toys that are no longer serving a purpose????
At one stage I thought that I would do FDC, but that wasn't to be.
So I am on a rampage to get rid of excess stuff.

​As I was tidying up, I was also doing a pile of things to give away.
​My son was really good at it, all I had to say was that it was a babies toy and he was more then happy to get rid of it. And he even got any broken toys for me.
​The little girls were a little upset with me, so I let them pick two toys to put back.

​The way I do it is putting like with like. Then finding somewhere on the shelf or putting it where it lives.
​Also having a plastic bag for rubbish and I use a clothes basket to put the toys I am giving away in.

​The toys that I am giving away either went to salvos, child care centre across the road or preschool.
​
​Probably the best thing was also no one was home but my son, so no one  noticed what I was really getting rid of. Even now they haven't asked  for anything.
​Which really shits me, all the time & money spent on presents and they really only play with a few.
​So this Christmas I am going with the rule of:
-something to read
​-something to wear
-something you need
-something you want.

Christmas is coming and I have to buy gifts for my younger siblings and young relatives. It is my advocacy since I turned eighteen. Because back then, my parents do not have money to buy me toys. In the sense, even if I understand our situation, still it makes me feel lacking. I do not want them to feel the same way. That is why, every Christmas, I give gifts to poor children who cannot have a toy. I hope that my story will inspire you to give and share.
