When Bad Toys Happen To Good Moms {WW}

April 12, 2011 By Emily 23 Comments

A bit of a change in today’s post to my son…
I am not going to write a letter to Squishy, but instead I am going to write to my hubs. Because as this picture clearly shows. I have got a bone to pick!"Upset" "Crying" "Toddler Parenting" "Family Life" "Tantrum"

Dearest Darling Hubs,
I love you. But…Please don’t buy gifts for your son that:

1. Take 30 minutes to remove from the packaging (Seriously this $15 car was screwed in to plastic, which was screwed into the packaging!) all the while your son is throwing a MASSIVE tantrum complete with alligator tears, and the words “Vroom Vroom” being mentioned between sobs.

2. Buy gifts for your son before you press ALL the buttons. While it was cool that this particular car plays the “bad boys” theme song from cop. I fear the day my son screams from the back seat “QUICK, BACK UP!” or tells some poor unsuspecting person, “YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!”

3. Buy gifts that don’t have an off button. (My sanity dwindles with every siren.)

MKAY?ย  Thanks!ย  Love you dear!

Xoxxo
Me!

    That’s great! All those toys need tools to get them out-it’s so annoying!

      They do – but if they did they would probably charge you for them too. Sigh! Thanks for stopping by Jen!

    There must be some sort of trigger when hubby’s see those kinds of toys in the store…now to figure out how to make sure that trigger isn’t triggered! ๐Ÿ™‚ You are not alone! ๐Ÿ™‚

      No – he isn’t and even if he was he probably would think it was cool too – I just wish he had pressed all the buttons… I didn’t even think to check. ๐Ÿ™‚ And such a waste!

    I’m going to sound like the craziest mom ever because I actually WANT to find this car. Well, not so much want it. More like, this was the gift we promised our son once he was potty-trained. He held up his end of the bargain but now we can’t find this car at our Target. Could you tell me what the brand is and what store you found it in? I Googled “police car plays Bad Boys” and your site is one of the only ones that comes up. Thanks!
