[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh he’s 6. No way I’m picking a fight with adults I otherwise get along with because of a 6 year old’s toy, nor am
I subjecting anyone to sorting or rebuilding. If he wants to, he can. If not, whatever.[/quote]

Unless you have some reason to believe she did it maliciously, all you have is an old lady who put away some toys and thought she was being helpful.  I absolutely would not yell at her or demand she buy my kid anything.  I can’t believe you treat your mothers like this.[/quote]

There's something really wrong with both of you, honestly. I mean that. Unless you have had literally no experience with Lego (in which case you should stay out of the discussion), it seems like you're both as psycho as the grandma. I feel sorry for your kids.[/quote]

First PP - I have experience with Legos. They are a toy - this lady didn’t take apart a real NASA space shuttle. I also have experience with families and sorry but I won’t treat my parents/ILs poorly bc my 6 yr olds feelings are hurt over a TOY. No I wouldn’t kick her out, make her apologize to a person 1/10th of her age, buy him anything, or subject her to the indentured servitude of sorting and playing with legos. No way. He has to learn that feelings get hurt and when it’s about toys, he has to sort that out and no adult is going to coddle him over it. I mean she didn’t destroy his homework or his prescription glasses?![/quote]

Toys are important to children and he worked hard putting the Legos together. His Grandma was wrong no matter what it was[/quote]

[b]Making a mistake with no malice in the process of doing something positive (cleaning) does not make her wrong in any legitimate way.[[/b]/quote]

NP. Here is where I disagree. I believe grandma had malicious intent. Maybe she is more like the grandmother from Flowers in the Attic, than the grandma in Meet The Fockers.[/quote]
