[quote=Anonymous]No advice, just sympathy. I've found that the controlling behavior you've described is something that doesn't go away after the infant stage. We have the youngest grandkids in the family, and although (when asked) we have told the grandparents our preferences on gifts for the kids, 9 times out of 10 they ignore our requests and get us something we don't want or specifically asked not to receive because "this is what we got the older grandkids on their first birthday/4th birthday/whatever event. We've even been told "sometimes it's not about the kids needs, it's about what the grandparents want". Not to be a downer, but I guess I'm saying - get used to this behavior. Try not to let it bother you, but the wastefulness is a shame. [/quote]
