[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4yo and 6mo. Both my parents and DH's are divorced and they pretty much all try to out do one another with toys and gifts. Since we often see at least some of them once a week that means a constant stream of presents. Not only are we bursting at the seams, but a lot of it is big expensive stuff like bikes, ride on cars, doll houses, ball pit, roller coaster thing, etc. My 4.5yo DD also loves dresses and between my mom and MIL she probably gets at least one new one each week. Christmas is a joke - DH and I don't even buy anything since ODD gets so much.

DH and I have politely asked everyone to tone it down big time but they just won't. We do appreciate their generosity but ODD is getting way too spoiled. My kids are the only grandkids on either side at the moment, and not sure that will change any time soon. Anytime I tell her one of her grandparents is coming over she immediately asks if they are bringing her a present. And she asks them as soon as she sees them too. She also will hint at random toys she wants and they will magically appear from amazon a few days later.

If I can't get everyone to stop bringing them kids gifts, what can I do to help ODD not be so spoiled and to not expect gifts or to get everything she wants? Really at a loss here.[/quote]
