I had a lot of toys as a child, compared with others. But I was an only child and I think the toys were meant to compensate for lack of siblings. Our own children also had a lot of toys, but we were quite careful with them and kept all the ‘bits’ together. As a result, the better ones were kept and now played with by grandchildren.
It looks to me as if grandchildren’s houses are full of toys - one daughter in particular is a shopaholic! However, she does sort them now and then and try to keep the bits together, as I did and it’s not my place to judge.
To some extent I blame the ‘middle aisle’ of Lidl and Aldi where there are always some toys to tempt!
