[quote=Anonymous]My MIL isn't quite that over the top, but she definitely shares the trait of really wanting the kids to LOVE what she got them. She wants to see them open everything and then she wants immediate praise and thanks for giving them such a great toy. Last year she kept barking at my 2 year old to "SHOW GRANDMA WHAT YOU GOT! LET ME SEE IT! HOLD IT UP!!" and after 15 minutes of this he was over it. He didn't even want to open anything else. I just bite my tongue and drink some extra wine and try to give my kids some quieter breaks in the day when they need it. And as soon as we get home, I tuck stuff away. The thing I know they will enjoy, but maybe not with the toy overload, I just wait until a snow day or rainy day in March to pull out to play with. Some stuff I save until next year and donate to Toys for Tots. Some I re-gift and some I just give away. [/quote]
