[quote=Anonymous]I loved it when people asked when the kids were little so I could guide them.  One set of grandparents go way, way overboard for every holiday/bday because my kids are the only grand kids on that side of the family.  The other set of grandparents buy gifts they want them to have (just like a PP said), like, a really, really nice telescope, 6 weeks of riding lessons to a barn 45 mins. from our house, golf lessons for both, etc.

You try telling a 7 year old that they'll only be able to use the riding lessons on the weekends and not through the week.  I guess I should just be thankful that they didn't buy her a pony, because that just the type of people they are.  My daughter loved Hello Kitty when she was little... cue those grandparents buying everything HK for a few years until I had to tell them to stop because she was out of that phase.

I used to always call a parent and say, "Johnny likes Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, does Bobby like those as well?"  I didn't just call and say "tell me what to buy!"[/quote]
