missyv28 (pink)`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll ok, trying this again...I wanted to get my son a gift for his second birthday in February and I let everybody know what this gift would be so no duplicates. This weekend my mother in law who I told what I was getting says she got the same exact gift for Christmas. Has this happened to you? How did you feel and what did you do about it?

Angry
Happy that you don't have to spend the extra money
Don't really care she probably forgot you said you would buy it
Stop whining! At least you have caring ppl in your family!

I agree with Arkansastech. I was pissed off, but happy I did not spend the money. MY 5 yo daughter wanted a John Deer Gator(yes a JD GATOR and not barbie,when she was 3 ) and i was going to buy it but MIL offered so Hey, saved me money!! =)

I would tell her to return it.

haha that`s exactly what it was too, a power wheel...the only good thing is that she watches him 3 days a week so she could just leave it at her house and we still get one...but it was the thought and disrespect I thought on my part but I know she wouldn`t do it intentionally (at least I hope not haha). Another thing is I wanted a Cars version power wheel and she got him more of a ATV looking power wheel...

If I had already purchased it, I would probably be a little ticked off but I would just return mine and be excited to buy something else that might even be more fun then what you originally had in mind :-) Don`t sweat it. In the end its all about your son being happy and im sure he will be :-)

Personally, Initially I would be ticked off!!!! **The EXACT same thing just happened to us!!!!** We planned on getting our `lil boy a power wheels 4wheeler for christmas, and we let EVERYONE know when we decided. His birthday rolled around, and his grandma... WHO HADN`T SEEN HIM IN ALMOST TWO MONTHS (but knew about our plan) got him a power wheels John Deere Gator:( At first, I was TICKED OFF. Yeah, we could have still bought him the 4wheeler for christmas, but what would a 2 year old do with two power wheels at our house??? Waste of money! After I got over the initial shock, I was kind of happy to save the $200+!! Very annoying/disrespectful in my opinion, but it actually saved us alot of money. So... I guess there is a couple of different ways to look at it!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
