Would you pay 1,000 dollars for a kids toy?

[Frank Fire]

not only do kids toys not last forever in my observations most of them are wrecked about two weeks after the kid gets them thus making an expensive purchase of a toy for a young child even more foolish.

that may be so but her grandaughter is 3000 mile away she is getting it for her so when she is a little older that she has smething to play with when she there

What the fuck are they buying :dunno: A life-size Barbie Doll with
functioning bits.

This is taking pushy parents too far

Well spotted!My suggestion is save the money for the kid's education...

maybe so but its for her grandaughter i forgot to say that

If it's for her grandaughter then things change slightly, because as a grandmother she's supposed to spoil her grandchildren...however, she better be ready to get in trouble with the child's mother. You see, when I have a son, I do not want my father spoiling my son because I know how that can negatively affect my relationship with my son.

I've seen it happen one too many times. Children loving their grandparents and hating their parents because the parents got the wrong side of the "raising" deal.

So my honest opinion bro: tell your friend to not spend 1000 on a gift, and if she does, tell her to burn the price tag and act like she spent 200 bucks on it instead. Let her be the only one to know that she spent 1000 dollars on it.

Still, unless she's going to hold off and not let her play with it until she's around 14 years old, when the girl is probably not even going to care about some kid's toy like that, it's still most likely going to get wrecked in short order.

There are a lot better ways to spend that money. There are even a lot better ways you could spend the money to benefit a little kid.

What kind of toy was it?

 

[shimmy2]

bought my kids a flat screen tv. now theyre asking for iphones, which aint gonna happen. its really about getting them something to expand their minds. a trip somewhere would be a great start rather than some electrogizmo

 

[Doc Scurlock]

A doll house? Do kids even play anything these days that involves imagination?

 

[wigster]

No fecking way

 

[vodkazvictim]

[Frank Fire]

maybe kids don't but it makes him some money if you think thats crazy a friend of a friend sold one for 30,000 dollars that no joke it was a brown stone and about 4 feet tall

 

[vodkazvictim]

Isn't a kid a toy?

 

[Frank Fire]

yes they are all kids toys some people just have a lot of money to spend on there kids

 

[bustybbwlover]

i don't see it especially since a 1 year old is more into the box, ripping the paper, and the bow

that may be true but once i had someone pay me almost 3000 dollars to make them one to bad i don't did it to much anymore just no time

 

[dbradford8589]

That's insane for a 1 year old. It's more than twice what I spend for everyone on my list.
