rowantree forgive yourself. So you bought something and got a bit carried away (in their view). So what, so, fine!
The closest example I've had to this is I bought my little grandson some Lego Duplo, partly because I remembered how much his dad had enjoyed playing with it as a toddler. My DIL said "Thanks, we'll put it away till he's old enough". My son thanked me and then told me firmly but nicely that he had been looking forward to buying his son his first Lego, and now I had "gapped in", so if I didn't mind he intended returning it to swop it for the particular set he had in mind. My response was "Oh. Of course. I should have thought to ask you first". And that was that.
I constantly have to sit on my hands when I see toys "from a smoke and pet free home" available on the local Mums Group that I think are ideal for my grandson. It's easy to get caught up in the moment.
for you.
