I mean, seriously, couldn’t they keep that shit at camp where it belongs? It’s the equivalent of giving a preschooler a drum-set as a birthday present. You just don’t do it. Period. What else don’t I want other people giving my children? Read on.
- Play Doh. My kids love making spaghetti and snowmen and ice cream out of it. I don’t so much share their enthusiasm as I scrub it out of carpets and seat cushions for weeks after.
- Musical instruments. Unless it’s a silent instrument, keep it at your own house, please.
- Slime. A relative of goo, but even more messy. If that’s possible. More from The Stir: 5 Weirest Things We’ve Seen Kids Do With Toys
- Legos. There is no pain like that of stepping down, full weight, on a Lego at 4 o’clock in the morning. It’s enough for me to outlaw them entirely from the house.
- Microphones. As if my kids aren’t loud enough, without the aid of an instrument.
- Anything that requires assembly. Unless, of course, you plan on doing the assembly.
- Toy guns. I tried really hard for years to keep guns away from my boys until I caved with a water gun. Shortly after, a neighbor gave my son a gigantic Nerf gun and life was never the same. Do what you want in your own house, but keep guns away from my kids, thank you very much.
- Anything involving food. Easy-Bake Ovens aren’t that easy and always result in me having to make a real batch of brownies (that aren’t baked by light bulb).
- Puzzles with a million pieces. Because little puzzle pieces seem to mate with socks and disappear in record speed.
- Anything you wouldn’t want your own kid playing with. Of course. Did I miss anything? Image via Scary Mommy
