[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like some of the other posters, there is no question that the ILs treat our kids differently from the other grandkids. We all will be celebrating the holidays together after our individual family celebrations, so it will just be a setting in which the kids receive presents from the grandparents and aunts/uncles.  My kids are the exact same age as their cousins, and old enough to notice -- and to care -- about the unequal treatment.  If my DD asks why her cousin received 4 presents but she only got 1, what is the answer?  It isn't like there is a financial disparity among the families (and, even if there was, I certainly wouldn't point it out to my kids)  Thoughts?[/quote]

You simply tell your DD to be grateful she got anything - that there are kids in the Philippines hit by typhoon Haiyan who don't have so much as a roof this holiday season much less some damn presents.   [/quote]

Right!  And then smack her with the Elf on the Shelf!  Merry Christmas![/quote]
