Wouldnt it have been lovely if she had given her kids even half of the gifts and taught them the joy of giving by getting them to gift the other half to the Salvation Army toy appeal or something like that.

I wonder if the kids are still opening them?

How silly. Is it really $3000 worth though? Even saving some for Birthdays, I wonder where she puts it all. Then again, when you open the gigantic mega boxes, LOLs and most toys are pretty tiny. Bet it doesn’t look nearly as lavish then. Think of all the teeny tiny bits and pieces of plastic she will be stepping on.

My thought is where does she store it all?

Each to their own but that’s crazy

Well she can buy whatever she wants wiht her money but really all of those gifts is it really necessary.

Goodness how do you store all that! and what about next Christmas! I wouldn’t want to wrap that amount either. I also wouldn’t want to spend that much though

oh my goodness I couldn’t be bothered wrapping that many gifts. I also couldn’t stand the amount of mess that all those gifts would leave around my house – if she had to store them in 14 different cupboards around the house where are her kids going to put them all? I wonder how many things they have already stopped playing with since christmas – I hope she gives the unloved toys to charity especially now with the bushfires across australia – lots of kids would have had their presents destroyed

I would rather make memories than just buy a gazillion things because I can. Dont get me wrong, we spoiled our son, but if you get too many things and go OTT, then the child just gets overwhelmed and cant possibly appreciate everything they have got. Just my opinion

Unbelievable! I much prefer quality over quantity. Maybe she lives in a competitive situation.

All that clutter. I would hate to be picking that all up. Each to their own but if it was me I would spend that money on a nice Vuly set or something of better quality.

I wonder about the quality of the toys and how long they will be safe to play with

I hope the kids had fun, but they would most likely not remember it in years to come, would have been better spent on a holiday they can remember more.

Can’t understand this woman posting what she has done – just asking others to have a go at her in my opinion. And of course, she hasn’t thought how she will manage in future years when her children expect this sort of thing.
Well it’s her rod to bear, I guess.

Interesting article. Thank you.

She has the right to spend her money the way she likes but then there is no need to post the pictures on mums group as not every child and parents are as lucky as her family so they might felt left out.

If she wants to spend all her money on her children, is that so bad? There are certainly worse things she could spend her money on, however, I think the fact that she posted it on a mothers facebook group is just her wanting to gloat. There are obviously going to be mothers on there that either don’t have money to spend on their children, or don’t feel it is necessary to spend as much on their children’s presents so her posting there is a bit tactless.

If that what she feels she needs to do so be it. Let the magic live on and I’m sure her children loved it!

Her kids, her money her choice

It’s her choice, but I do wonder if the kids can genuinely appreciate so much at once.
