[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry you are going through this. I have been through this with my parents but my parents are a little crazy and the discussions always turned in to big fights with them telling me that I'm an ungrateful person. HOWEVER, it needs to be addressed. Mine have had to be addressed several times. My main issues are that first of all the young kids have no idea how much things cost. A book or a wand or whatever can be just has huge to a child as a kitchen. I would prefer her to buy a craft that she can then do with the kids (TIME is the most valuable gift). Second, like the other poster It freaken drives me nuts when they get the big gift that we wanted to get...Like a Bike or something like that. They have already had their chance when they were parents of their own children (you), now it is your chance to call the shots. Have your husband say something ASAP.[/quote]
