Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 11:22am On Nov 08, 2023
What kind of a birthday gift can I get for an 8 years old boy? My nephew will be turning 8 soon and I want to get him a gift.

The boy is just a simple type of a child.

Get the young lad a 🚲
Re: Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 11:41am On Nov 08, 2023
He already has a tablet... Funny enough, I was just going through an online store not long ago and it can be confusing as to what to choose.

What does one give to a child who seem to have everything? 🤔
How about you open a savings account for him, and teach him about saving at his (early) age? You would be making a huge impact in his life.
Saving makes children proud, and gives them a sense of responsibility.
Re: Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 2:55pm On Nov 08, 2023
It's really confusing... grin grin grin

As for savings, I believe that's his mother's duty and not mine... I'm busy saving for my future children who'll be arriving soon.

cheesy

Anybody who's willing to give something to a child can do that.
It does not matter who you are to the child.
Re: Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 3:13pm On Nov 08, 2023
I don't want to be digging problems for myself.

What if in the future he starts feeling entitled to whatever my children have?

And the whole thing may also not sit well with my future children... It can cause cousin rivalry.

Get him some good books to read and a small laptop that contains what he will learn.

PlayStation 5
Re: Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 8:34am On Nov 09, 2023
Isn't he way too young to be having a PlayStation? That thing looks addictive and I'm afraid it might distract him from focusing on his school work.

Maybe the books could work, as for the laptop, he already has a tablet with all the necessary educational games in it.

I think the musical instrument could work because I once bought him a children's guitar when he was just two years old and he learned to play it really quick.

I could do that, but he's still a child and he needs something fun to play with.

my sister just wish him happy birthday and move on since he already has the suggestions you were given. If I advise you to buy a house for him now, you will say money is not the problem but it's not your duty for you to buy a house for him.
Which kind wahala be this bayi?

What did you later gift him?
Re: Mothers And Fathers, I Could Use Your Advice. by Nobody: 1:27pm On Nov 13, 2023
A remote control helicopter.

At first I thought maybe I should get him a drone, but I think he's still kinda too young for it.
