[quote=Anonymous]My mother thinks my kids should be exposed to computers, screens, etc. She is quite insistent on this--she thinks my kids are missing out and exposing them to technology is important. But my kids are very young and my DH are agreed that we, personally, are going to put all that kind of stuff off for as long as possible. Usually I just brush her comments off. My mother has asked what the kids would like for Christmas. I worry she is also going to go ahead and get my son an iPad or something like that and he will open up this present on Christmas morning. Can I tell her, when giving her the wish lists she has requested, "As you know, DH and I don't want the kids having electronic toys yet, but I know they would love...." and then list some OK toys? It seems super rude to tell someone "don't get my kid this present" but I really worry she will. (And, by the way, I am not judging anyone else who lets their kids use iPads or whatever)[/quote]
