[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many of you think the worst of your in-laws! Assume good intentions. It’s sweet of them to send something. Who cares if the gift itself is a miss. They haven’t had a 2 year old in 30+ years and don’t remember that they’re probably not eating candy yet. Just say thank you. [/quote]

She told them not to do it. No need to thank someone for ignoring a request. Thank them when they are kind. Thank them when they babysit. Thank them for being fun company when you see them. No need to thank someone for ignoring a boundary.[/quote]

I think a lot of grandparents send candy for Halloween or Valentines day. This is SO minor in the scheme of things. It probably made the grandparents happy to send it and/or remember their grandparents doing stuff like this. Don't stop the gifts now because it will have effects later. I know my older kids would love a box of candy for Halloween from grandparents.

And yes, you say thank you any time that someone gives you a gift. No matter how unwelcome it is. [/quote]
