[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get this. My kids are just awash with hundreds of wonderful toys. But it's too much!! What they'd love would be more weekend activities, like passes to Great Country farms, soccer, the science museum, their favorite restaurant (dd has one that she begs us nonstop to go to). And another crazy thing is all the duplicates we get. I try to grab the toy before they rip it open so that I can donate it or regift it when it's in unused condition. The only thing I need less than toys is duplicates of the same toy we already own.

I just try to let it all go. I get that family doesn't want to take my kids places or do activities and toys are just an easy filler. Each set of parents spends about $500 each on my kids, so there's just mountains of toys.[/quote]

wow, that is an insane amount.[/quote]

Are you serious? $1000 total of grandparent spending on just toys for your kids?! What are they buying? Each kid gets a nintendo switch and a fancy new bike? I just don't understand how you can spend that much on toys.[/quote]

Pp here. It’s actually a bit more than 1k. I meant each side spent $500 a kid= $1500 per grandparent set. There are mountains of presents. Sometimes big presents that we don’t have room for. Some we love though. New bikes yearly, tons of nerf guns, calico critters, American girl dolls, books, brio train sets, grocery store, clothes. And no, they’re not wealthy, just middle class.
