But everyone else has one! Giving in to pester power costs parents an extra £2billion every year
Parents who give in to nagging from their children spend an extra £2billion on things they don’t need every year.
New research found the average child costs their parents 460 pounds by nagging them for goodies, which could range from sweets or junk food, to more unusual items such as cleaning products which have appeared in TV adverts.

A whole host of strange items came up in the survey by VoucherCodes.co.uk, which asked 1,000 UK parents with children aged between 2 and 15 exactly what their kids pestered for.
