It depends how old they are.

I think some older people don't understand what children's expectations are today. We probably gave ours roughly the same as other children had. Expectations of parents and children have changed.

Of course I don't know what they have.

I'm sure I've already seen this thread, started today.

Either deja vu, or I'm able to see into the future and predict threads before they happen!

Didnt you start a post earlier today asking the very same thing? I'm sure I saw replies to this question earlier today? confused

Hello,I am new to Gransnet forgive me if this has already been discussed. I have 2 grandsons who seem to have every
Toy known and an enviable life style. I would like them to
Be aware of those less fortunate and for their birthdays this
Year I intend to sign them up for a charitable sponsorship .
Not sure DIL will approve but feel they should know that
By forgoing a quickly discarded toy they have the potential
To make a difference to a child or animal. Any advice on
A suitable cause that members have personal experience of
Would be really appreciated.
Am I doing the right thing?
