Have you ever bought your child a toy you wish you hadn't?

Yep....I bought my kids a little toy train that would run around while it played musical plastic discs.

The discs were bad enough, but my kids would take the discs out and leave the train running on its side, making an irritating chugging noise.

It went back to the store. :o)

Absolutely!!... I'm almost certain we are not alone in this and I'm sure this happens very frequently. My Son loves transformers, when we go to a toy store he wants transformer toys. The thing is transformer toys are are difficult to transform, as a matter of fact they come in levels; easy,medium and hard. Well, the problem is I bought him a small car that transform into optimus prime and each time he wants to tranform it into a car and vice versa I have to do it because he doesnt know how to.. I really wish I wouldnt have bought a $55 dollar car that I have to transform each time he plays with it...

The most hated toys that I bought are the Amazing Amy doll and the Playskool Talking Grill. The grill was haunted and started talking without anybody touching it, even in the middle of the night. The Amy doll was so needy and demanding that my child refused to play with her until I removed the batteries.

I bought a friggin leapfrog. Fifty bucks. Broke in two weeks .Fixed it, with the eraser trick- but then it broke again and now it's a useless fifty dollar lump of plastic.

I am very picky about toys before I buy them so I usually don't pick ones that make a lot of noise. I don't mind ones like cars, he loves legos.. he loves to color. But grandma and grandpa bought him a piano which hides safely in the closet. I don't mind the piano so much but it came with a microphone and when attached it is FREAKING loud and you CAN'T turn it down. And he just screams into it so loud and high pitched. I'm like UGH.

But I unplugged it. So we're safe.

Edit:

OH.. but he did get to make this.

So many. And not only because they're annoying. I've bought some that were just a complete waste of money because they were cheaply and shoddily made.

But the worst is her Barbie laptop. There is only one volume setting and it is very loud and Barbie's voice is especially shrill.

My kids are 9 and teenage year. There's thousands of dollars of toys I wish I hadn't bought!

Aside from Lego's, which we have a strict rule about..lol there is nothing that we have bought them that I which we hadn't. However, last year we went to my husbands company picnic and they had those silly, loud "clappers". For two weeks straight, that is all we heard. Can you imagine, .clap clap clap clap clap x 4? lol

They are well hidden..lol I am going to break those out at their graduations...lol

The ones that I step on are big contenders. I know that blocks are so important for their development, but when you're nursing a bruise on the bottom of your foot then you really don't like them anymore.

I haven't but i wished people didn't buy annoying toys when i'm around for their kid,lol.

*cough* FURBY *cough*

I had one bought for me as a kid and it never shut up. So when the friend who bought me my furby had a child I decided to buy her child one....
