[QUOTE="Shari, post: 359562, member: 1848"] I really feel like that's all we've done, removed ourselves from certain "scenes" we weren't comfortable in, as people or as parents. We just limit our exposure to it. We still go out there, we go to Christmas and birthdays, etc, we're there when we should be/have to be/are expected, but that's it these days. THe leisurely hanging arround has stopped. Its just kinda sad. FWIW, Wee bought this rocket with his money. I didn't even buy it for him. The rocket is basically nothing more than the soda bottle you describe, Marg. He is always mixing soda and vinegar and playing with it, and I think its great. He blows up balloons, he made a little volcano and made it "blow up", etc. He likes to clean the drains with it. Both are incredibly cheap, and he is learning from it. May be learning how to blow things up, but hey...its better than sitting in front of the tube... And the backseat of my rental car is half full of toys he has gotten for Christmas and barely played with or outgrew, and gave them to me to take to Goodwill. I can count the toys in his room on my fingers (as long as I dont have to count lego sets separately! lol) I'm not saying he's not spoiled, but in that regards, he doesn't have a lot. And he's fine with them. Correction - fingers and toes. Can't quite get them all on just fingers. [/QUOTE]
