I’m 14 too!

I really really love animals and this is my list

tennis balls for my dog
Golden retriever webkinz!

That is my list I won’t get everything on my list, they are just suggestions, my parents said I can get up to 3 things on my list!

Well if you mean gift ideas for yourself, you have quite a long list, but I understand they are most likely just suggestions, here are some ideas!

Gift cards! Then you can get whatever you want from your favourite stores, alothough you already had that on your list
Or:
wrist watch
necklace with matching earrings or bracelet
CD’s

fluffy pillows
a cute wall clock
a lava lamp
a pillow pet (they are so cute, and they sell them at more malls)
a journal
maybe a bike… but that might be too much money
candy
a hair straightener
a curling iron
a hair dryer
a house coat/robe
hand lotion
perfume
a bed set
bubble bath
slippers
a nice snow globe
a jewelry box
A music instrument like a guitar or electric piano
nail polish
a key chain
a karaoke machine
a purse
a soft blanket
a plate set, with pretty colourful a plate, cup and bowl
a scrap booking kit
picture frames
a portable dvd player (they are really cheap!)
magazines
colourful pens
a bean bag chair for your room
an art kit, with like paint and glitter and other fun stuff
uggs
a coach purse (they are very expenisive but also super cute!)
I was going to say tamagotchi but I think you already had that down, right?

Anyways that’s all I could think of!

Hope I helped!
Merry Christmas!!

But with the way she had actually said you could be in the room and then decided to shut you out it sounds a bit like she is hiding something from you. And you are not wrong for feeling hurt and used. No feeling is ever wrong.

Even if she was using you I can’t see a person telling you you can be in the room then changing their mind. UNLESS there was only one person allowed and it was a father, mother, or spouse/boyfriend and that just didn’t get explained to you. And maybe she didn’t want you and your kids at the hospital because of all this flu going around and she didn’t want you guys sick. And you could even have her not calling explained by thinking like her, she’s got a new baby. Its all brand new to her. shes probably so busy with her little one and with all the people coming over she just hasn’t gotten a chance to call.

I always look at both sides. I personally would be offended no doubt. and it’s okay if you are, but try to keep it in your mind that it might be all those things.

You probably should just call and invite yourself over and ask to have alone time with her and just ask her flat out whats going on. Let her know how it made you feel and study her expressions, you’ll be able to tell if she really feels bad and didn’t mean to make you feel this way or if she was just using you.

Hope I didn’t over-analyze. Lol

ok, im 16 and i’m having a baby in june. I will be 17 by then and i have 2 questions-
1- will i get the baby bonus in a lump sum or fortnightly payments??
2- my parents have agreed to pay for most the things the baby needs and family benefit from the gov will pay for most weekly expenses. I want to do sumthin special with the baby bonus(its about 5 grand i think) i have already decided to help my nana pay for a flight over here as its her first great granchild. that will be about 800 and i plan to spend about $500 in the 1st few months paying for personalised momentos such as twinkle toes and growthcharts/baby book etc. Does anyone have any ideas of other things i could buy that would be useful(im not talking nappies and everyday clothes here). Plz no hurtful or mean comments. If you dont agree with the way im spending it plz dont answer. Every1 else thanku 4 suggestions!
PS-im in perth AUS
i said that i dont want answers to do with using it on nappies or everyday clothes. i have parents and tons of family and friends to help out with things like that and i’ll be getting government assistance. i want to use the majority of the baby bonus on special things. but i am putting $1000 away for emergencies like nappies etc.
anymore answers, plz write them or email if it gets too late. thanx every1. i’ll pass them on to Lily.
i’m not a dole bludger, im using government assistance because im doing correspondance uni. i was considering putting some into a account for the babies education, thanku for your input, i would apreciate if you hadnt added the hurtful comment. not every1 can choose to have a baby when their life is perfect. and imnot wasting the money, i want to do something special with it. by buying kepsakes and things. my mother never even took a photo of me until i was in the 7th grade, so i feel that this is important
oh PS-it mite not be relevant but the ones who are helping arent my actual parents, they are amanda and chris(the one who has this acount) they took me n at 14 and treat me like their daughter, so i consider amanda to be my mum. just adding this in case it changes things…

you won’t get extra money if your a colledge student u get money off do budgety stuff buy clothes from charity shops sales or make clothes your self.food buy shop brand stuff asdas own etc or make it your self-breast feeding only occupys he/she for a while.toys make puppets or let him tv or take him to a playground

yes i know there are much more important things about having a baby than cute things. love, care, patience…patience and many other things. but in the world of mommyville, anything goes.
so
any
way.

i have never personally seen anyone better put together than me but i heard of several and can just imagine. i wish i had known about it all when i first got pregnant to prepare, but i didnt. and now i feel im missing out on being able to show how good i am at finding n coordinating things. and i know a playpen is a playpen wether its pink brow n creme prints fora ton of $ or a plain white one for very little. but i really like pretty showy stuff and theres just so much to choose from and just so much i feel intimidated. ever feel the same???

(and i already know– grow up, get over myself and who cares, so now that thats outta the way give me your best mommy answers)

i have alot of people come over to my house and i feel the same way. i have twins and i dont have the money to buy them both the cute stuff they need. what i did was go to craigslist and got used stuff that was in good condition for not that much money. i got an adorable colorful playpen for $20 and it was originally $100 so that is my suggestion. i know the baby wont care but everyone else does and that kind of sucks but that is life

He doesn’t need any books or toys (he got far too many for Christmas and, being my third, has inherited all his sibling’s toys)

He doesn’t need clothes (ditto above)

He has a personalised blanket and we received tons photo frames when he was born. He has a rocker, push along baby walker and a sit in/ ride on car.

We opened a trust fund when he was born.

(all above ideas from previous posters of this question)

I realise he won’t remember and will prefer the wrapping paper/box anyway but as we bought my daughter a silver charm bracelet for her first it would be nice to get him something ’special’ too.
With the charm bracelet she gets a new charm each significant events – a silver toothbrush when she finally got one at 15 months, a tiny pair of silver shoes when she started walking, a ‘big sister’ charm when Little Boy arrived. She has a tiny silver train to remind her she once had a big crother who was mad about trains.

Boys are so much harder to buy for!

Anyway, as expensive as it is I might go for this:

Unless anyone can find something similar for less!

How exciting for you!!! Ryan & Cody are turning one in a month, and DOMINIK turns 5 next Sunday (15th)

We’ve really struggled with what to buy them, as honestly, they have all they can ever want (being the 2 youngest of 5 helps).

We’ve bought Bedroom Decorations (bedding, lamps, pictures). It was the best we could come up with.
We got each of our Sons and engraved glass with *Happy First Birthday* on it. You could try that.
