She always uses her allowance to buy more stuffed animals--teeny ones. I have the Ikea net thing in her closet. I really WANT to be a bad mom and get rid of half of them. She is not like other children and not miss them. When we pulled them out after moving, she named everyone of them. What's more is half of them are attached to two or three others in a family. How could I break up a family? I have pulled the "poor kids who don't have any toys" and "How about giving one to little cousin Cora?" Not a chance! It drives me insane. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.Oleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504699119482697613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-71989686514064941162010-10-11T19:01:39.486-04:002010-10-11T19:01:39.486-04:00How do yopu throw away your kids stuffed animals? ...How do yopu throw away your kids stuffed animals?

The rule of "when you get new, you give old" works too--then they have control over what gets given. Somehow, giving to less fortunate kids helps them with the giving (not my daughter though). Last "trick" I use is that when I'm in doubt, I box it and wait 3 months. If it has not been asked for in that time period, it goes away--as if by magic. Making the Salvation Army dump without the kids along is crucial though.Mareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05771268193885937211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-15783995525937583762009-01-13T05:04:00.000-05:002009-01-13T05:04:00.000-05:00Sometimes (blush!)
