[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is turning 2 in a few weeks. My brother-in-law is extremely, rabidly frugal -- he absolutely hates spending money, though he makes a ton, and is vehemently anti-"stuff". He has declared that no one should get his son any more toys (and he has been systematically getting rid of most of the toys in the house for a few months). He says that his son has plenty of time to play with toys when he's at daycare. He thinks that at home, his child should either be outside in nature, or inside reading books. That's a nice ideal, but it's just not reality. Kids need stuff to play with to develop their fine and gross motor skills. But he won't hear it. And my SIL has basically checked out of the whole debate -- when I asked her what their son would like for his birthday, she said she hadn't had time to think about that. My heart says to send this kid some nice toys, but my head says to just send some books and not cause any drama. WWYD?[/quote]
