[quote=Anonymous]OP. We went through this. It did die down when he was a bit older. At least in our case, one of the big givers wasn't spending time with him. He saw the difference and knew what mattered. I agree that this is hard, and makes parenting to your own values a challenge, my kid is now 17, and what I can tell you from this vantage point is that the grandparent excesses eventually didn't matter. I was eventually able to redirect the giving into things that we needed as a family (electronics), or figure out ways to say thank you and then just not give my kid the gift. I was also able to exploit the competition to turn some of the giving into things like theatre tickets, which meant an experience with grandma. [/quote]
