Gifts my kid got that I want to destroy (1 Viewer)

We did "Christmas" yesterday because my wife wanted her to have the entire 3-day weekend to enjoy her new toys.

I already want to destroy the following:

The keyboard with microphone (really?).

The iPad-like thing that requires another $100 of add-ons and downloads

The Disney Princes mulit-game set with a million pieces that I'm sure I'll step on at least one a week

The "kids" porcelain tea set which will result in my daughter, wife and/or me going to the hospital for stitches.

 
Got my dog a toy that has 24 Squeaky things in it so she would leave me alone while I drank all weekend.

She loves Squeaky toys and I now have a splitting migraine listening to squeak-squeak-squeak over and over for the last 24 hours

 
Realized halfway through unwrapping gifts from us that over half of my 2 year old's gifts involve either the toy singing or talking, or were actual musical instruments. That also goes for the toys both sets of grandparents got for her too.

So far the cymbals, tamborine and triangle are all huge hits for my daughter. Oh, and the singing Elmo. Not such big hits with me.

Oh well, she's happy and the look on her face right now is priceless. The more obnoxious toys can disappear in a few days to be brought out on occasion.

 
Just spent an hour and a half putting together a wooden train table. Of course on the last step I realize that I did step two wrong even though the directions told me otherwise.

That table can expect a big dump on it at some point.

My 19mo old got one too. 1hr to set up and he went Godzilla on it within the 1st 2minutes of seeing it. This thing will not last long intact.
 
We also got a "my first drum set" for our two year old from my sister. Her boy turns one in march. I'm already shopping for something louder. Game on.

 
Transformer car that turns into bumblebee. Stupid thing I am not an engineer. I got it to be bumblebee but I doubt it ever goes back to a car now.

Fidgit for my daughter is getting old fast.

:goodposting: Transformers are a NIGHTMARE! They want you to turn it into a robot and 30 seconds later you spend another half hour turning it back into a car.
 
Raining here, so the kids are playing with their outdoor toys as they can. My kid has already nailed me in the nads with his ultra stomp rocket.

 
I just bought $30 worth of candy and wrapped my nephew's iTunes gift cards in about 6 different boxes he has to open, the first of which is my old PS3 box.

Crap, I just realized I forgot to include the gallon sized ziplock I have with left over Halloween suckers. I guess I'm going to have to wrap that last box in the box which came with my tuner.

Back to wrapping.

My stepsister is not going to be happy.

Neither is your nephew when he finds out he didnt get a ps3.
 
I don't do guns. Nothing against them, just never grew up with them. My youngest son has been hunting w/ his friends for a coupla years now. Santa got him a Remington 887 12 gauge. Well it's supposed to be able to hold 1 in the chamber and 2 in the magazine. There's an orange plug in there that I can't figure out how to remove. I'm sure it's easy, but I'm too inept to do it myself. Oh well, we'll figure it out tomorrow.

Got that and I will raise you a Justin Bieber toothbrush that plays his music, a Justin Bieber DVD, and a talking journal that plays a Bieber song when it is opened. All have been permanently banned to her bedroom and the bathroom respectively. :banned:
 
Chatimal.

Chipmunk with an internal voice recorder that repeats back whatever you say in a high-pitch chipmunk voice.

I've heard the #### thing say "butt sprinkles" more times than I care to count.

 
DId the Everyone-Gets-A-Trophy generation also bring us battery compartments that require an adult to use a screwdriver to access?

When I was a kid, I just pressed or pulled a plastic tab to replace the batteries..after licking them to see if they had juice of course.

I dread getting any battery operated toys for my son since he'll inevitably leave them powered on and in need of fresh batteries within the week.

 
Stinky the talking garbage truck AND smiley the talking fire truck. Both are as loud as a toy can get leaving me with ringing ears. Just a constant mess of noise.

When I first read and chuckled at this excellent post, I missed the bolded... and was thinking, "Wow, your son really likes Justin Bieber." :lmao:

My mother bought my son a full-on drum set. A four year old with a drum set. Beautiful idea, ma.

My 2 year old got a toy drum set from my wife's sister. Probably won't ever make it out of the box.He also got a farm truck that plays the same song every time you press down on the driver...over...and over...and over...and over. :wall:

On the plus side, his grandfather won a raffle at a local restaurant for this. :drive:
