Haha! Look, we do the elf for Christmas and even I think it's too much.

A birthday elf??

For Christ's sake, just teach your kid to behave!

[Deleted]

Wait.. What? So they have to be good for a month? Or no gift?

I thought your birthday was the one day you got a gift, even if you were an asshole.

I saw that earlier today. I half heard it the first time and thought they were just promoting the damn Christmas one really early. Then I realized what it was. Barf.

I saw this earlier today while my kids were in the room. They are right on verge of questioning validity of Santa, 7 and 8. We do a different version of elf on shelf and they love him. I usually regret it after a first few days. Lol
Now that they actually advertise this as commercials I see this going downhill real quick in many households with many kids asking questions that they wouldn't have if it was kept to Christmas.
I thought it was a joke at first. So dumb.

I bought this:

www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CWXWFHE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1406770646&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40

It was $1.24 at Meijer and I am sucker. Plus, I think it looks simple enough for my 3 and 6 year old to play together .i came home and saw the birthday commercial and I might regret my decision.

You know what I use to bribe my kids to behave leading up to their birthday? Cake.

I should box that shit and sell it for a lot of money. Oh. Wait.

[katfco]

Makes me want to get this:

L would have loved this. Every few weeks she asks if it's time for Bob to come back. She looooves Bob, her female elf on the shelf.

And yeah, it's not a discipline tool in our house.

I don't use the Elf for discipline dammit! It's just a fun toy.

Meeee toooooo!! I have to explain this once a year. Well, now twice a year.

We saw a stack of the boxes at Barnes & Noble the other day. I might have shouted good grief out loud. Dd2's birthday is Dec 23rd. Which elf would we have? It's madness!

I try to do the elf.


I forget like 4 nights into it.

And so does ds.

One of my best friends uses it as a bribing/discipline tool in her house around the holidays. when I saw the birthday elf, I immediately thought of her. Sorry.
