The shocked mum shared her daughters extensive list online. 

She said her daughter wants: “Mainly a new iPhone (she doesn’t have a phone at all yet!) make up (not keen on this) an iPad and a laptop might but also a £235 school trip in May.”

Hannah who goes by, @hannahhomeeducates was discussing the other mums extensive request with her daughter Ayla in a video online. 

The mum discussed with her daughter how they were budgeting £100 for her Christmas gift. 

When hearing about the other childs request Ayla declared the child was asking for too much.  

Ayla said: “It’s too many screens, get her toys.”

Hannah said: “My take on this is it’s an extortionate amount of money for what she has listed, it doesn’t sound like stuff a 10 year old I think they would naturally gravitate towards.” 

She said: “Kids are bombarded with Christmas adverts and unrealistic materialist content plus they have less time to free play, so their ideas of what they want/need have become unhinged.”

“Personally I would get a second hand iPad and a nice case if I was getting a gadget as a Christmas gift.”

“I use my phone every day for work and waited until I really needed it to order a new one (and that’s second hand too!) so a 10 year old might want a new phone but there we go!”

Hannah claimed: “Again if you do get a child a new phone no judgement, they might be really into all the features and tech and that’s ok too- just don’t go into debt for Christmas.”

Other parents agreed that the 10 year old was asking for too much.

One mum said: “My son 13 got his first phone when he was 11 & was literally £40. He got a newer one last year but even at that it was £100.”

Another said: “My ten year old son’s pens cost 200 quid.”

“My daughter has a school trip in Feb which is £280. This has been counted as a Christmas present too,” said a third. 

A fourth parent confessed: “My son is 6 and desperate for a switch, it’s so hard to say no though when every single one of his friends has one.”

Some parents said their kids were a lot more reasonable with their requests. 

One user said: “My daughter is 18 on Saturday and all she has asked for is a pair of crocs and a new yeti water bottle..”

Another said: “My son wants a €10 minecraft sword. I asked him if he would like to upgrade to the light up one and he said no.”

“My daughter’s 11th bday is coming up…All she wants is squishmallows, I said anything else or just those and she said just as many squishmallows as I can,” a third said.
