Sarah’s “not many” chocolate eggs because nan brings them lots, is already way more than my kids are getting. They were everywhere!!

I guess she’s gone off the RSL foyer already if they’re doing all the Easter stuff upstairs.
Lucky Nanna is back in the picture just in time for Easter or they would’ve had to buy out the entire Easter Egg section at *gasps* Big W on their own.

Absolutely not, I bought my child 1 bunny and 1 packet of hunting eggs. That's it, this whole gifting crap is out of control!

You are a monster… please read in sarcasm.
Lol the irony of buying “that’s not my monster” for those spoilt children

I still can’t believe an almost 5 year old wants to read those books. Yes, my older kids will occasionally grab my baby’s books and read them. My daughter is same age as Ted and nine times out of ten now she asks for a chapter book at bedtime, or at least longer picture books like Paddington or (TW for Brad) those big Disney ones Big W sells for $5. She wants to read proper books like her older brother. I guess that’s Ted’s problem though, none of them read, so he doesn’t have anything to aspire to.

My 3 year old loves those books from Big W! She also picks Ella books for us to read to her. I can't remember the last time she went for a board book and if she does it's once in a blue moon.

They’re such great value! I don’t always love how long they are. Sometimes wish I could just spend 30 seconds on a single “That’s Not My” book, would speed bedtime up considerably

My daughter loves the Meet Ella books too. My son was reading them to himself by Ted’s age 🫠. I know all kids are different, but there’s probably less than 100 words total (closer to 50 even?) in the “that’s not my” books, they’re for babies. Wouldn’t you at least be trying to encourage him with some more detailed books? There’s so many amazing picture books.

My 16 month old is already over them!! Probably was closer to at 12 months! Way to help with their literacy and reading skills, Sez!!

My 2 year old is more into books like The Gruffalo, We're Going On A Bear Hunt, The Cranky Bear etc. The That's Not My... haven't been touched by him since he was 1.
