From a Blog Buddy: Top 10 Passive Aggressive Presents for Parents

Toys, ,

Do you know a parent who drives you up the wall? Check out these 10 hilarious passive-aggressive gifts for parents who annoy you. (Maybe they’ll get the hint.)

Baby showers, holidays, and birthdays offer up prime opportunities to give gifts that keep on giving… in the form of loud noises, ridiculous messes, and feelings of confusion and bewilderment from the poor unsuspecting parents. We’ve all received them – those presents that seem to say “I love you” while subtly communicating otherwise. The kind of gifts that make children swoon with joy, and make their parents say “gee, thanks.”

My favorite and also least favorite (if that makes sense at all) on the list is #1. You’ll see when you click the link to go to the original post. Hint: woof woof!

The one thing on the list that I don’t find all that annoying is Moon Sand. My kids love Moon Sand, it keeps them occupied for hours and I just vacum it up when they’re done playing with it.
