[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] No, OP said the grandparents know they don't give the kid candy. And I think extending some grace is the right thing to do. I don't KNOW what my nieces and nephews are allowed. It's been a while since I had a 2 year old. Why not be grateful there are people in your life who care enough to send a gift? You people obsessed with boundaries are going to have a long, lonely life. [/quote]
