[quote=Anonymous]I get it. Twenty years of Xmas chaos with the in-laws and I was always the bad guy. In my case it was that they just want the kids to tear everything open at the same time. Nobody is paying attention, there’s no thank you, it’s just this gross display of grabbing and tearing. I refused to let my kids act that way and they slowed down, made sure nana was watching and said thank you each time. I let them rip some boxes open, but had to be right behind them gathering pieces up. I usually tried to hang onto gift bags and would start throwing all the pieces in one as I could. Otherwise, half the stuff got thrown away with the shredded gift wrap all over the floor. But my kids are HS age now. All they get are clothes and expensive electronics now, so try to enjoy the madness. It’s short-lived.[/quote]
