SHOPPING FOR HARLEE’S 5th BIRTHDAY!

[@kenosue]

Some people can’t help themselves and go completely over board. Kids don’t need or care about all the junk . Fewer gifts make them special.Happy that you can buy your kids so much but it is an obscene amount. Do they actually appreciate each gift you buy them? You’re kids your life do what you think is best for them. Happy birthday Harley.

[@jackiebuckner6737]

Yes it's her kids and her money. I love spoiling my kid and don't personally care what other people think and I don't think she really cares what people think of her spoiling her kids

do you ever donate the toys that are in excess since you obviously over-shop for every birthday. You should show that.

[@themillardfamily1749]

The kid already has enough toys. Why not take her somewhere for a memory and an experience for her. Those toys will be trashed in weeks.

[@Tatas1999]

100% agree! She doesn’t care about quality time because if she did she would stop being on social media.

[@ck4599]

You spend over a thousand dollars 💸 n toys but don’t want to pay for bags?????

[@kateb17w6]

Serious question- no sarcasm or disrespect intended: how do you have room for all the kid’s birthday presents they receive?!? I have two kids and I feel like we are busting at the seams!!

[@alexiswagner5388]

They have a activity\play area in their basement or somewhere in the house I can't remember exactly where it is but they have a big room specifically for the toys and play things

[@DoughertyDozen]

They keep a lot of their toys in spare drawers in their bedrooms. We frequently go through and donate toys they no longer play with.

[@bethgipsonbrady6618]

Serious question is how can you afford to buy so much? My kids got a big gift and a small gift.

[@Riklolo]

The kid asked for 5 things & she bought like 82 things. 😮

[@AmandaLytle]

I get spoiling your kids, but this is extreme. Hopefully you also teach her when she gets new toys, she goes thru her old ones and donates to kids less fortunate. That way they can learn that not everyone lives like this and giving is always better then receiving ❤️

[@Tatas1999]

She doesn’t have time to teach her kids anything but the bad habits she’s showing them. Honestly, with the amount of time it takes to film, edit, comment back/block people, clean, cook, and everything else, there’s zero time for 12 kids. I can’t wait until she’s off the internet and actually becomes a caring parent to those kids. Gifts mean nothing, it’s the quality time that does.

[@lindatyler6396]

too much for a 5 year old to take in,I would be overwhelmed with that many gifts whew!

@@chelly2517 True it is her children, but some people want to make people who can't afford that much look like horrible parents. Not all of us were able to afford to spend thousands of dollars on our children, but still loved and cherished them despite what we were able to spend. We taught lifes lessons that you can still have a good life and have fun even if you aren't able to have tons of presents.

[@janet947]

It’s not about the money she spends but about the quality of gifts. Why does a child need so many dolls ? You can get so many more educational gifts along with what they want.

I was raised with chores,an allowance and love. I knew the value of a dollar. And I was taught how to cook. I never done without. I love my childhood and taught my son the same values.

[@alexiswagner5388]

The kids do have chores and I'm sure their teaching them responsibility a lot of them are from adoption\foster care and didn't have anything or very little for the longest time their allowed to be spoiled

[@mariab7453]

I had no chores growing up as we always had a maid. We also never received an allowance so I was careful with whatever money I got on birthdays and Christmas. I loved my childhood too and when I went away to college, I quickly learned to do my chores. It’s not rocket science. I’m sure you know that there’s more than one way to raise children.

[@kimmathis2726]

Everyone has their story to tell. That was mine.

Yes! Toys are fine but books are an adventure and a great way for kids to expand their knowledge and imagination. I inherited my parents love of reading. I started reading at 3 and I still get excited when I come across a great book. My kids grew up in the internet age so they don't really get the awesomeness of books, but I'm working on them!

[@Merolett]

I hope one day you will understand that buying this amount of toys are not good for little kids yet the worst thing you can do. It's not an amazing gift its just too much to play with it. You teach your kids not to love one thing, because there is 25, and nothing is important for them. I remember this little girl got so many barbies for christmas too. What happened with these? Im so sorry for her.
