[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's 4 year old birthday was last week too. Neither set of grandparents sent presents (my mom was apologetic and said she didn't want to go shopping- I told her to not worry about it for one second. MIL is 78 and I would never expect her to shop right now). He got presents from us and siblings and from our nanny. [b]No 4 year old is going to miss a present from his or her grandparents unless the parents make a big deal out of it. [/b]We video chatted with everyone and had a great day. DH's birthday is next week, and we'll do the same for him. NBD, just glad we're all healthy![/quote]

You're an awesome mom, with some very sage advice for the OP...  listen to this one, OP.

I have a feeling you're right on the money about the bolded too.

That kid had NO idea whether her only living grandparents sent her a gift or not, because
kids that age live in the here and now.

I guarantee her daughter wasn't sitting on the floor burping her new Baby Alive doll that she just got and started meandering...

[i] [b]"Uh, wait a minute... hold the phone and stop everything right now!  I was sitting here singing happy birthday to myself for the hundredth time today, burping little Sally (she has my eyes, doesn't she, mother?) and I started checking off that mental checklist that we 4 year olds typically like to keep updated, of exactly WHO should be showering me with adoration and birthday presentations on my special day and I do wonder, mother... why, oh WHY, have I not recieved my yearly benefactio endowment from Grand-mamma & Pa-Pa yet? Don't they love me? Nothing says love like an expensive endowment... a benefaction of boon, a goliath of gifts... you know this, mother. Then to add insult to injury all I get is some crappy card??
Find. Out. Mother... find out why!
Don't care how, I want it now... don't care how, I want it nooooooooooow"[/b][/i]     :twisted:

Nope, that 4 year old was probably thrilled with the presents she got from her mom and dad and that's that, nothing more needs to be said.

Happy belated to your 4 year old son, PP and happy soon to be birthday to your husband!
