If one more person gives my kids a toy that requires batteries I'm gonna scream! I feel like I am having to purchase new batteries every other day just to replace ones that have died! What ever happened to the days of simple toys that actually required imagination? :mad:

Or or what about the toys that are extremely LOUD!!! If I get another ambulance or police car that has the sirens louder than the real emergency vehicles I'll be the one screaming! :mad:

I feel your pain VTGal and I'm not being selfish or greedy but if you're going to give a toy that requires batteries as a gift, please kindly include them.

Haha, I buy obnoxious toys (and remember to install and include batteries) to the kids whose parents drive me nuts. That way they can deal with their kid and the beeping, singing, barking, squealing thing and I can know its driving them nuts. :)
