[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your reaction seems a little extreme for the situation you posted. I think it's great she's teaching her kids to thank personally those who give them gifts. And I've saved gifts before, to open as little surprises later. They were more appreciated when my kid had time to actually enjoy THAT present, rather than 42 other presents at the same time.[/quote] This. I spaced some of the gifts the kids received out over time - especially ones that were mailed from a distance so I could intercept them before the kids even saw them. The kids remember FAR better the gifts they receive individually than the gifts they were slammed with in one day. Try to enjoy this instead OP - enjoy the kids actually knowing and appreciating what you gave them. It's an opportunity to work on your connection w/ them, rather than slamming their mother.[/quote]
