[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 548333, member: 6705"] You're both right. However, I lean more towards your definition, because... Well, when I met husband, he was all about buying the kids THINGS and amusement parks, entertainment. That first Christmas he bought the kids an Xbox. He was trying to make up for all the lost time with them. After we'd been dating long enough for me to insert my opinion, I pointed out that they'd rather spend time with him than get stuff. (GMIL did this to mother in law to get her out of her hair, then mother in law to husband, and... Yeah.) So the expensive stuff started to dwindle, and stuff like camping and canoeing, a slip 'n' slide in the back yard, baking cookies, a backyard bonfire with s'mores... All ramped up. And despite all the koi that went on with bio... These are the things the kids remember from those years. Playing WITH them - not so Disney, because kids want our time, at least when they're younger! At least in my opinion. I treasure some of the dumbest things my Dad brought me from his trips... But most of them are nowhere near as important as riding my bike with him, camping... Working on the car together... [/QUOTE]
