I'm not jumping on this, but I was wondering about the segue. Is buying a lot of toys and clothes a sign of needing psychiatric help, or is it a sign that a person hasn't finished with their metamorphosis into the real world?
I know that I put off manicures and clothes for myself so I can [over]indulge my boys. People would probably look at their closet and think I have issues, but I like being able to put them in something adorable when we go out. I prefer to buy good quality clothes at consignment stores than K-Mart stuff new, so I can get three outfits for the price of one. They have more toys than they'd ever need, and I plan to donate them as they outgrow them.
I just keep seeing that sentiment in every other thread here, and as much as I look for signs of derangement in KC and CA, I never stop taking some small amount of offense to it. They're only little once, and soon they'll want to pick out their own clothes. If I want to have 20 different patterns of sweater vests, that's my perogative, and if people think I'm nuts, so be it. I'm not spending that money on cigarettes and beer.
Maybe I'm personalizing it a bit, but there are so many things out there to point to in terms of dysfunction with the As. All I see with the clothes/toys is that they loved and pampered this child. Or at least CA and GA did. I'm not their biggest fans despite having met them, but I don't doubt they would have given Caylee anything.
