[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes you just have to let life be fun and getting toys at Christmas (or a birthday) is fun. Trying to micromanage every little thing in life and every person in your life really gets old. So your kid lays with something that you didn't personally buy them and approve. It isn't the end of the world. You dont' need to control every moment of your child's life or that of those who interact with them. Kids are their own people. They are distinct humans who will have relationships with other people beyond their parents. Trying to micromanage every interaction and every decision everyone makes that relates to your kids is so stifling. Let your kids enjoy the relationship with their grandparents. Let them give them a toy on Christmas or buy them an ice cream on a hot summer day. Life doesn't need to be so over controlled to the point that a grandparent giving a child Legos for Christmas throws you into a meltdown. [/quote]
