Why is everything about Priscilla. I understand the feeling about the mile stones I understand that pain...but it's Abbies day.
Priscilla is so selfish.
BUY this child what SHE likes, not what you want her to like, or be interested in. Every event in life Priscilla acts like this. She wants Abbie to be her BFF! Go to the mall and shop and do her nails and be a typical teen all grown up....yet has her on the front lawn with her 8 yr. Cousins looking for Easter eggs or trick or treating in a costume with 10 yr. olds. So which is it?? How about whatever makes ABBIE happy not YOU.
Buy this child what SHE likes, what benefits her!!!! Not you! It's not about how you long to have some fantasy shopping spree to make you feel good!
Buy her clothes, new table tasks working on sorting, colors, new bedding, blankets, pool toys/ f!oaties, some new bedroom wall decore for change of scenery, drinking cups, a new type of smaller backpack she won't be needing a big bulky school one soon...so a more appropriate type so you can still bring what she needs, new squishy cute pillows, more sensory stuff..she desperately needs.... I could list 20 more things easily...because I'm thinking about HER not myself.
It's only difficult for Priscilla to ever buy Abbie stuff because she's only thinking about what SHE herself wants, what she wants Abbie to like.... This woman has zero motherly instincts, ZERO! Make it special for Abbie...not you.
It's about Abbies happiness, it's about what makes HER happy...not you ..not everything is about you Priscilla. Be a mother put your child's needs before your wants.
