[quote=Anonymous]Be honest with the grandparents. They give her so much stuff that it's actually interfering with their relationship with her: all she cares about is the gift. Of course, the real problem is probably that they don't know how to have a relationship with her that is not based on buying her affection. Maybe they could turn their gifts into activities/memberships to places they could go together? Also, take heart. In our family DH was the one buying new stuff for the kids, sometimes on a daily basis, because he was so needy for their "approval". It was gross. But our kids are good kids. Starting around age 7 my oldest started getting annoyed with it and saying things like "Dad, I don't need a LEGO for going to the dentist. It's just the dentist!" [/quote]
