i feel bad for you not having stores that sell good stuff. we have 5 stores but they have the same things. about 20 minutes north of us is a huge town and thats where i get most of my pets. our toysrus limited too and walmarts are good, but target just moved the ponyville/my little pony and polly pocket and lps is now one row! but, target raised the prices to 5.99! but they do get the new ones! its good until 3 girls see me with a buggy load and see me buying almost all of them and take some out of my buggy. i always hide the good ones under a blanket that i really dont buy that i pick up in other departments. once, i had my kangaroo in my purse when a girl spotted it and nearly grabbed it before i turned around. then she was like "My daddy was going to buy me the one with the kangraroo, but you got them all. you already have one!" i wanted to throw that brat across the room, but instead, my daddy brought me another buggy right then and we pulled everything off the shelves into a buggy until we got to the hardware. we hid everything we wasnt getting behind the diy stuff and bought the rest. to this day that stuff is still there waiting for me to buy it! i will never raise a child like that! Well. No one should snatch merchandise from your basket. That's just ridiculous! I've never heard of that! Never. That's something that security would need to know about. I hope it never happens again to you. And I cannot believe that little girl told you that. Just can't. I agree, that's no way to raise a child. I'd flip if my girls EVER spoke to a stranger like that. Or tried to take something out of a strangers purse. Again, I just can't believe that. One thing does bother me, though; the hiding of the LPS pets that you were not going to buy. It seems you're very pleased with that move. I just don't see the pride in that. It's like cheating. Not exactly cheating, but it's LIKE cheating. I know, this may be a grey area, but it's still dark. And I like the bright side of life. I'm always looking for the "hidden" toys. I'd feel so guilty if I "pulled everything off the shelves into a buggy......" and "hid everything we wasnt getting". Call me a pansy, I don't care. I sleep well at night. we dont have security-i didnt mean to hide the good ones under a blanket i dont buy means i buy the pets, not the blanket. i only do that cause i had to pay 70 bucks for that stupid round the world. I know its wrong but at the time, i was very mad cause i had called target and got the twin polar bears on reserve and someone else got it. im not trying to sound mean- i probally am. i really have a budget i am trying to stay on and its like- see it, buy it, dont get it, lose it. only target gets the new ones, so. I told one of my bffs sister where to get them and where i hid them so she wont get in a slapfight. i only took them all of the shelves for a purpose- just because daddy says he will buy it for you, doesnt mean youll always get it. Im not trying to sound mean or like a princess angel by saying "i felt guilty so i put some back" but that is just wrong to be like that. its very annoying to have parents ask me if they can have a certain item b/cause their kids want em. Im sorry if i sound like a rebel against kids or i a brat. oh, i am overreacting a bout the fights but they will get into an arguement or try to snatch. i try to work on it but it is wrong to fight over a 3 dollar piece of plastic. Besides, target's got it on video and they will probally restock with that stuff soon. I AM SO SORRY !!!

W didnt feel to good when we left but i think those parents watched us to see if we bought the 500 bucks worth of lps. Some is missing, but id rather put all of that on the shelves now but it would make me sound like "Perfect, Sweet, Contrited, Angel who is the nicest person ever who always does right but if she does wrong, always fixes it person." i dont want to be like that!

It definately doesn't seem right to me. The only time I will hide something is if I don't have the money right then. I live 20 mintues away from stores that sell LPS. So if I go in I search all stores we are very disappointed when we cant find any. I have personally told parents where to find LPS if they are looking for them. I know how hard it is to try and find them. I don't think that because you saw one bratty kid that means you take them all off the shelf so they cant get them. There are some really good kids out there just trying to get some pets for their collections. If they want to be greedy then they are in the wrong. Don't follow their example. I am not trying to lecture you. Its just that there will always be more unless it is super rare. They are still bringing out the ostrich wave here. We have 4 waves circultating. The wave with the ugly chihuahua, the ostrich, the whale and now the ladybug wave is merging. There are tonnes of the fitness centre on the shelf because of the price. If they run out they will get more. They always have tonnes of those sets. The bonus sets are not so plentiful. So many clubhouse, tricks n talent shows. They had so many of the Pet towns they reduced them to $10. Just the old ones though. I have had the oporrtunity to get some of the ladybugs for customizing but I left them on the shelf so some other boy or girl could get it. Everyone deserves a chance to own them so its not fair when you take them all off the shelf.

As an ebay seller, I would grab all the most popular or newly released pets. I never thought what my actions did to other kids/parents who may come to the store and find nothing new. I was solely grabbing them all to sell here or on ebay because there were others who could not find them.
Then as I noticed families in the aisle with me. I'd only grab an extra (if 1 was for my daughter) and leave the remainder behind. Now when I'm in the store, I smile when I see parents and grandparents looking at the pets with young girls. I always wonder if there were always parents looking at me grab all the picnic time sets, etc. Thinking what a hog!

Well, what I meant by that was more like just doing it so Id sound good to others, not that i wanted to be stuck up! Im sorry if I sound abnoxious. Sometimes I exagerate but this is true. We live in a huge town and a lot of people live here. We have a military base and so a lot of little girls live here. I dont want to sound mean or rude, and I don't want to sound like I am perfect either. I am sorry if I made some of you sad... I just can't wait to move and get out of Injuries everyday. I just can't stand bratty little kids who think the world is theirs. Some little kids are sweet. Some are just purely annoying! I know a little girl named Pheonixe and she loves Littlest Pet Shop and I always help her collect. I'm not saying I hate all kids.. just those annying little pests. I know y'all dont treat your kids like that! It is fine if y'all don't like me just keep it to yourselves. I probally deserve it for doing that, but I cry even if people make a joke about me. I am very sensitive and please keep it to yourselves-but if you want to write about me, pm people. SORRY! Hey, it is wrong and actually stores in our town get stocked up pretty quick. I don't want to sound like I try to get the easy way out of things either. I dont like going to our stores and see little girls fight over stuff. They have a buggy load so momma and dad dont buy. Then the other girl teases her and her parents get it. Please dont think I hate kids, I love them, especcially babies! I had a bad day that day and I was frusterated for making a b on a spelling test. Dont think I am perfect or I try to do stuff to get attention, that isnt me. I really do like this site and all the members on here, and i dont want them to not like me. I probally do deserve it but please give me another chance. Please dont judge me by my mistakes. I am sorry if I made y'all mad, sad, and confused that I'd do that. Please understand. This is a site where we are supposed to have fun, and I am sorry if I ruined that. If y'all ever don't feel like I belong here let me know and I'll delete myself. sorry Myckenzee
