[quote=Anonymous]Do you think this is normal and is this what your mom/mil says to your kids?

Yesterday I overheard my mil tell my kid that Santa was going to stop by at her house and drop off presents for the kid too. We are going over there for Christmas today. In the moment I didn’t say anything but it just rubbed me wrong for some reason and left me with a funny feeling… when I thought about it I think it’s because I feel like Santa is a parents thing and grandparents are free to give kids presents from them, but they really aren’t playing Santa anymore. Furthermore it could lead to complications with kid like kid asking how Santa knew they were going to grandmas house or I don’t know… even just Santa bringing them so much stuff through different relatives.

I feel like my mil is overstepping here and trying to revive the Santa role for herself.

Am I overthinking or is this weird? I kind of want to go tell her, or have Dh tell her, no you are free to give kids Christmas gifts but no playing Santa please.[/quote]
