Ever want something when you were a bairn that you never got


Recommended Posts

Now, with the benefit of hindsight, at your own childhood shortcomings- when YOU have a bairn and they plead for a

pony,puppy, playstation3 etc. Will you give it to them? :?:

or dou you have your turn-down line ready?

I must admit that I'm not going to do puppies or ponies because they just wouldn't be sensible with our family, but I do like being able to buy things my children would like without it having to be birthday or similar.

 

I always wanted lots of lego - imagine the fun of having what would feel like limitless lego... I solved that one by scouring the Shetland Times 'for sale' list and the boot sales. They have lots of lego for lots less!

 

I suppose I do spoil them a bit, but the pressure on children to grow up is so great that I like to indulge childhood a bit.

When I was 3 or 4 I asked Santa for a red fire engine (very specific request - wouldn't settle for any other colour :lol: ) and a xylophone. The fire engine arrived, and most delighted I was with it, but the xylophone proved trickier. 'Santa' took 3 years to find a child sized one, though regrettably by this point I really wasn't that bothered anymore!! I mind plunkin awa on it but really the moment had passed :!:
