Wouldn’t it be great if all the presents people give to children were ones that both the kid and the parents love? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case because while there are a million things little ones would want to unwrap, a good portion of those toys are probably on moms’ naughty lists. And that’s because they lead to more work, more noise and more messes in the house.
These are the gifts moms say they never want anyone to buy for their kids – like, ever.
-
Anything alive – No live creatures of any sort, please. Taking on a pet is a huge decision – yep, even if it’s a fish. So just don’t, unless it’s pre-approved by the parents.
-
Sugary candy – Especially those enormous lollipops that last forever.
-
Gifts that require parent participation – Anything that requires a lot of supervision of cleanup may not make mom and dad happy.
-
Anything without an off switch – Unless you hate the parents of the child you’re giving this to, please make sure it can be turned off.
