We watched the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway last night (because I entered, and come on, 1 out of 41,000,000 are great odds of winning). My daughter watched it with us and we explained to her about the dream house, and then about how we were looking for clues to try to win the $100,000. She said she loved the house and wished that she could live in it. She then asked us what a “dream house” was. We explained it to her and then told her that we were living in our dream house…but apparently our dream house is not good enough because it didn’t look like the one on TV, and she had no problem telling us this.
When we didn’t win the $100,000 or the dream house she…burst into tears. And I mean real, falling down her face at lighting speed tears. I asked her why she was so upset, and she said she wanted to win, and when could we try again? She said that she wanted money that she could play with, and she wanted that house, because it was nicer than ours.
She was still crying her eyes out when I put her to bed. She did fall asleep fairly quickly, thank goodness. I just can’t believe how upset she was over the fact that we didn’t win.
And I’m feeling so good about the values we are teaching her and how material things are of no importance :)
