When I picked the children up from school the 3 year old proudly showed me a reflector for his coat that had been given out by his nursery teacher. The 5 year old was clearly miffed.
5 year old - But I want one of those
Me - They were given out to the nursery children, you can’t have one
5 year old - But it’s not fair. I want one.
3 year old - (stroking his new reflector and reveling in his sister’s jealousy) Would you like to look at it? … You are not allowed to touch it though.
5 year old - It’s not fair. He has 158 toys and I have (cue puppy dog eyes and dramatic sigh) only … 2 toys.

Such drama over some fluorecent & reflective plastic – clearly the 158 toys are now redundant and there will be no need for Santa to bring anything else next week! Love it! Cx
I think I should maybe just ebay the 158 toys and then they can share the other two.
Did Father Christmas come early and take away toys in your house? Mean mummy showing those levels of favouritism. I expect the five year old to get 15 at least next week…lol!
A lump of coal and a DS I’ve fashioned out of an old margarine tub! That’s all she’s getting.
I like the 3 year old’s style. We had a similar thing when my son brought home one of those reflector arm bands that ‘snap’ onto your wrist.
Argued over it constantly for about a week and then both forgot about it and it ended up kicked under the shoe rack.
Kids eh?
Yes, the 3 years old’s precious dinosaur reflector? … oh somewhere under his bed.
Poor child, I hope Santa is good to her *cough*
Yeah, a lump of coal and some laminated rules on how to put it on the fire safely.
only 2 huh? Surely she should get on to Child Line about that?
I’ll give her the number on a piece of paper in the Christmas stocking!
Ah the sibling toy jealousy, I remember it well.
I bet you’re a cruel cruel mother really, the 5yo has to make do with egg boxes and empty loo roll holders whilst the 3yo lords it about sponsored by Duplo!
Hehehee!
Imagine her poor face on Christmas Day when she opens a present to find a DS fashioned out of a margarine box. Poor child.
Awww! You’ve gotta love the puppy dog eyes! Don’t they work that one..haha. You have a wonderful little actress on your hands there..
Don’t I just. If she’s like this now … imagine the teenage version!
Tell her when you were a kid you only had a stick to play with and all the really poor kids only had ‘imaginary’ sticks.
Knowing her she’d want an imaginary stick … Gramps has to take all her imaginary dogs swimming every week.
Your poor 5 year old has only 2 toys? That is dreadful. My daughter claims to have 5 toys but when I last counted it was nearer 205. Clearly it’s a hint they want more.
PS When I was 5 I had only one toy
I think I need to do an ebay cull, show her what 2 toys really looks like!
I love that she’s counted his toys … !
I can imagine her like an auditor at the supermarket, ticking each on off her list.
Oh the poor child!! Go buy her 156 toys immediately!!!

I have advised her to ring childline, given her a tenner and shown her the way to the local car boot sale to replenish her stocks.
