[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to see it from their perspective, maybe they don't want to purchase these items.  Then when you do with your kid, they are put in the position of having to also buy them or be the mean parent and say no.  if it were me, I would take the kid separately to get whatever treat it is or cut down on them.  Of course the other kids also want it when they see you buying it for your child. [/quote]

I would talk to your sister but this is possibly part of it. I am very conscientious of this when I travel with others and my kids know that when there are other kids there, we need to be discreet about asking for things as parents have different threshholds for what they are willing and able to buy. We recently went away for the weekend with another family and they were buying ridculous (in my opinion) snacks--$14 ice cream sundae that the kid decided he didn't want immediately followed by a $6 cupcake that he only ate half of. My kid knows there is no way that would happen with me and picked a scoop of ice cream that was still more than I would ever spend if we weren't on vacation. But it just makes it awkward when you aren't on the same page with that kind of thing.  [/quote]
