I was talking about this with my girlfriend the other day after buying more toys.
Does anyone feel bad that they have more 'toys' than their children?
I was thinking that i have more toys now than when i was a child and it made me think, that i have more toys than almost all children would have?
does this trouble anyone else or am i just wierd?

When I was younger, toys would get lost or left unplayed with until mum gave them away. Had I done the same as I do now back then, then I'd have a whole lot more toys now.
i dont feel bad as i still own most of my toys from when i was kid and almost all of them are complete and in good condition
so yeah i may have more toys than most "kids" but i am just a bigger kid with bigger toys :p
I like that:D.Quote:

I do worry sometimes about buying them and not giving kids a chance to get them and experience them (not my kids). I believe this reason was discussed in another thread. i dont feel bad for long though.
I feel the same as loophole. I have a big collection because I've just never stopped playing with Transformers since I started collecting them in 1984. I would actually feel bad if I ever 'abandoned' Transformers and stopped loving them... I felt sorry for Toy Story 2's Jessie the Cowgirl during When She Loved Me.
To Infinity and Beyond! :)
what i also should have asked, do you feel like you have to buy your children toys when you buy toys for yourself?
i think for when i eventually/hopefully have kids i will have to engorce the "1 for you, 1 for me" ruleQuote:

I feel bad that I currently don't have a girlfriend to make me feel bad... :o
over 30 grown men that love you on this board = 1 female girlfriend, that enough isn't it?Quote:
