Pet Peeve!!! UPDATED

Ok, so you buy a new toy for your child and they want you to open it so they can play with it.
You get the package open to find this attached to each part. Are they having a problem with people stealing toys that we have to reinforce each part this much.

30 minutes later and I am still working:) This is what I have. Good thing Kaylee is not old enough to be screaming for the toy in the background.


Note to self:

Future birthdays and Christmas: Open packages of toys ahead of time to get all of this off and then wrap it up so then when Kaylee wants to play with her toys, it will not take 30 minutes to open it.

I really think this is overkill but they must have a good reason for it.



Update: This just in, Brian's mom heard this on the radio so I had to add it.


Sara Groves Toy Packaging Lyrics
Toy Packaging
Nothing makes me lose my cool like Toy packaging
Ask the kids to leave the room for Toy packaging
I have no choice the money's spent I've worked for hours to make a dent
I guess it's anger management
Toy packaging
Nothing makes me lose my cool like Toy packaging

Ask the kids please leave the room it's time for Toy packaging
I'm drawing up a battle plan to extricate this robot man
My self-esteem is in the can
Toy packaging
In the old days you could hold a box and shake it

And hear the pieces rattling around
My eyes tear up with these grommets, tape and twisty ties
Remembering their beautiful sound
Toy Packaging I love Toy Packaging (Mom! Honey!)
Nothing makes me lose my cool like toy packaging

Kids you really need to leave the room, mom's opening toy packaging
I'm sorry you have to see this sight
You must be brave, no please don't cry
I promise it will be alright I hope to have it by tonight
Nevermind this dynamite
Toy packaging

I HATE toy packaging. I bought a bunch of toys for the church nursery a few weeks ago & literally spent HOURS opening them. I was grumbling the entire time.

It's so annoying, right? Last year Bailey had a couple HUGE fits during Christmas because it took us forever to open some of the toys. It was our first big holiday (she was 8 months) and so I hadn't dealt with mass toy opening before. Good reminder for this year.

oh i know...so annoying. we jokingly assign that job to our friend ken at every one of our kids' birthday parties! he's such a good sport that he usually does it for us.
