Okay this is kind of embarrassing but I must ask lol. The other day I was at the store and looking in the toy section with some of my friends. We do this for fun lol. Anyway, I saw this strawberry shortcake doll. Normally I dont like the new version they have of her and I love the eighties one a lot more. But this one was different even then the newer version and she had strawberry scented hair that you could smell through the holes in the box. It reminded me of a doll I had as a kid that had chocolate scented hair. I thought about how it would be fun to get my daughter these kinds of dolls when she got older but then I realized that I wanted it for myself! LOL I've never had this happen before since I was a young kid. I didnt buy the doll but a part of me wishes I had. I told my husband about it, laughing at myself and he was like, "oh my god" like I'm insane. Am I starting to revert to childhood through my daughter? Or is it a comfort thing? Lol Have you ever desired something that is made for kids? Why do you think it happens?

NO! but, my husband sure does. He likes transformers, and gobots, and star wars and star trek and and and and..... is there no end? and then he gets fidgety when the children want to play or even look at his toys, that are actually meant for children aged 3-12. hahaa. I suspect something was missing from his childhood!

Hi! Oh, I'm sure this happens... it happens to me! LOL A lot of the toys I choose for my daughter I choose because I have good memories of them or because I think she'll enjoy them. Of course, I do choose some toys because I want them and I think we'll have a good time playing with them together. My daughter is getting to the age now that she can make up her own mind about the toys she wants, so Mommy gets less of a say! LOL So, don't worry, you aren't the only one! :-)

well, I DO do that! :) when I can afford it. The toys I especially liked as a child have become so expensive as a nostalgia item that I just kind of daydream about my kids playing with them. Such as lincoln logs and tinker toys. I really loved those wooden tinker toys. One website that I am quite fond of and have purchased many quality products from is www.hearthsong.com

Hi! Cool, thanks for the link! My hubby is the one who wanted to get our daughter tinker toys - because he loved playing with them when he was a child! LOL

OMG, I buy toys for myself quite a bit, and my daughter is grown and out of the house! I used to use the excuse that I was buying the toys to put in my office for my clients who are children, but I found myself buying them for me and playing with them to take breaks during work. My supervisor even walked in on my one day as I was playing races with my toy cars. He just looked at me, shook his head and walked out the door. I laughed and kept right on playing.

I buy video games, puzzles, coloring books, crayons, all kinds of things for myself. Indulge your inner child and let her play once in a while. It's great fun and very relaxing!


myLot reputation of 88/100. fluffyfrog (2612)  5 years ago

LOL Thats awesome! I love that you dont even care! haha Well one of my friends still buys coloring books. I color with her sometimes. It sure is fun to indulge in my inner child like you said. Thanks for making me feel better :)

I have to say that I, too, buy things for both my boy and girl that I want more than they do. LOL I don't sit and play with it, but I want them to want it. LOL Usually the things I really really like, they could care less about. LOL
