Toys, toys, toys and anxiety!

Re read your first post ( copied below)and then ask yourself if posters who have responded in good faith should be abused like that.

Toys, toys, toys and anxiety! " My wife works overseas a lot (3 weeks in 4) and so I stay at home to look after our children. She compensates for this during the weeks by sending toys ordered via amazon (She's home today and I've managed to look at her account on her phone and average spend is £200-400 a month on Toys) I get real panic attacks each morning the postman comes to our door. We get 2-3 parcels a week. My 2 year old boy likes thomas the tank engine so he has everything books, dvds, stuffed toys, duvet cover, wall stickers, plastic toys, motorised toys... if there's something he has got she buys in duplicate (hundreds of pieces in track for example).

My 4 year old daughter likes girly things and has possibly the biggest collection of dolls (plastic and teddy versions) we are talking 100+ and disney dressing up outfits going, plus stickers, makeup, play tents etc etc

This isn't funny, I have to be immersed in thomas every waking hour and I can't keep up with the chaos of having so much tat lying around and still I chuck a bin liner away every week.

It's dangerous too, last year my boy broke his collar bone falling diwn the stairs as there's so much carp.

as you gather I'm seriously depressed and talking has worked. Tried telling the wife fewer, better."

Great deals at webuyanycar I'd recommend them over anyone else.

A lot of the time when you're really suspicious that someone is trolling, you never find out for sure. It's quite nice to have a clear confirmation.

I think I understand it all. Your wife works away because she hates you.

I think MSE should leave this thread in situ to serve as a reminder of the depths some posters will sink to when they don't get the answers they expect!!

Well, he has so many toys he can't help but throw them out of the pram!

Gah, another one that was basically here to abuse the people happy to help others.

Ah well, I'm sure no-one will lose sleep over it and at least someone genuinely struggling may have got a few helpful ideas from the helpful posts.

You know you can get your post taken off by asking rather than resulting to such childlish behaviour. Still, makes it clear why you got agressive from the start when I dared mention that your problem seemed deeper than just an issue with toys.

I hope jamiefly hasn't been having an actual breakdown on these pages. All the best.

Circumstances change. At the time my daughter was seriously ill and the NHS wouldn't do things like MRI scans as she was too young, my wife earned LESS and I gave up my job to look after her and thought I might need the money for private intervention (no anaesthetist in the whole of Europe was willing to put her under for an MRI as she way too young) if we found one privately that would have cost big money.

I had to come back to this. What utter non-sense. Either it never happened, or you totally misunderstood the care your daughter was receiving. An MRI is nothing more than a diagnostic test and cost between £300 and a bit over £1000 depending on how many areas are scanned.

What could potentially cost more is the need for anesthetics because it is essential that the patient doesn't move and therefore in babies, if not asleep, anaesthetics can be easier. Anaesthetics are done on babies every day. Now it could be that due to her disorder, anaesthetic was not recommended and therefore required a more expert anaesthetics consultant to be there, but I can't see how this could make the costs rise to £60K. Never ever heard of such a thing!

My daughter had an MRI under general anaesthetic when she was a few months old. That was 10 years ago, it can and is done, it doesn't cost £60k:rotfl:
