[quote=Anonymous]The irony on this board is too much sometimes, Many of you come on here bitching on holidays if your husbands get you a "gift" that is for the house, bitching that it's not a gift at all. But, grandparents are supposed to be somehow honoured by your "gift" of clutter, that includes only your special snowflakes. While hey... I think it's a lovely gift, obviously these folks don't, due to space, time, etc. Talk with them. An annual book with the highlights you feel are important may not be necessary if they're taking their own pictures through the year. I know this will be shocker of the year to some people.. But not all grandparents need chronicles of their grandkids as "gifts". It may feel like spam to them. Feel them out. It's not about love - it's about years upon years of "stuff", often while they have made an effort to minimize. [/quote]
