[quote=Anonymous]My cousin's wife doesn't want her kids to be exposed to anything that she doesn't agree with. For example, I get email requests asking Santa not to give any princesses or certain action figures to my kids since we will all be together at another family member's house on Christmas morning. I understand that she's not into commercialism and the princess thing, but why can't she just teach her own kids that there are certain things they aren't allowed to play with instead of always expecting our kids to change. (All the kids are between 4-6 yo.) In the past, I have halfheartedly tried to accommodate her requests, and other times, just completely ignored them.

A few months ago, I asked her for birthday gift ideas. She mentioned something her DD might like that I went ahead and purchased. She emailed a week later and asked that I return it because she decided to get something similar for her DD and our gift might make her gift "less special". Like I have time to run around and return things.

She's planning to homeschool. I'm fairly certain it's so she can control their environment and what they are exposed to.

No real question, just a vent...
