[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are staying this week and this morning I hear my son 6 start crying(he isn’t a crier.) Before anyone woke up she decided to “clean” the playroom” and took apart all of sons LEGO sets and mixed them together. When she saw how upset he was, she scolded him for not cleaning them up. He was mostly upset about the brand new Minecraft legos that he got for Christmas that he has worked for days on. They were on a kid table, so they certainly weren’t in her way, I can’t figure out why she felt the need to take apart already put together legos. Wasn’t like it was a bunch of scattered legos on the floor. [/quote]

My dad once stole my sons legos.
Dad was visiting and did not like the way my son left his legos- disorganization and on the floor.
He took a card box and put a large bunch of legos in there. He took the box home with him.
My son never noticed and neither did I.
A few years later, dad nails the legos back? Explaining what he had done.

I believe he was trying to teach my son a lesson.
The lesson he taught my son was not about neatness or being organized or taking care of your things.
The lesson he taught my son is that his grandfather is a petty, passive aggressive old fool who doesn't understand his own role in his grandchildren 's lives.
I suspect your mother is doing the same thing

The only other thing I can see a child learning from that is that he had too much stuff.  While most kids are (understandably) resistant to purging or downsizing, that’s not a good way to teach it, nor was it the grandparent’s place.[/quote]
