heh, sorry Fairy & Solman, I'm with Rii on this one...  for lots and lots of reasons that I won't bore you with :p

 
all g, its not that they NEED it, im not trying to say that they do.  its something that can be handed down like your grandads medals or watch etc.  i never wore my jewellery until i was much older and the same thing applies to annmarie, theres no way i would let her wear stuff like that on a daily basis, shes not even allowed to wear her whale bone carvings on a daily basis

unfortunately most of the girls toys push them down that path of wanting it.

Must... fight... societal... conditioning...!!!
I'm hearing Monty Python voices again.... :p

They don't need jewelery, but unfortunately most of the girls toys push them down that path of wanting it.

We never bought her barbie or bratz or anything like that so for her it isnt where that came from - its a family thing  we did indulge her in her polly pocket phase
 

just buy them some tools - if they want jewellery, teach them to make there own

i mean how bad is it giving a child an angle grinder or an oxy/accetalene set to play with

 
she got her first tool kit when she was 6 months old made out of squishy stuffs, she's had a proper one for a couple of years.  shes spent her holidays pulling apart the old computers we have at home and is building herself a multi level dolls house.  so my spare room is covered in screws and wiring.  i think shes eyeing up some of the carpet.

Touchwood - M doesn't have a single Barbie or Bratz, she does have Pony's & Zoobles.

For me that's still not worth having to be served by the average KFC worker.
