[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](A) We are getting her a small doll as a gift from baby sister. ILs were aware of this. 
(B) ILs know we limit screen time. DD gets to play games on my iPad in the mornings while we get ready and gets to watch one TV show at night while I make dinner. That's enough for her, she never complains when we take it away, she's perfectly happy with what she gets. 
(C) She just got a ton of birthday gifts (and still has a few she hasn't opened yet) and baby is due in a week so she really, really doesn't need this.

They already bought it, they just told DH who told me. DH doesn't really care but I think it's major overkill and although I recognize DD is going to have less one on one parent time once the new baby is born, DH is taking a month long paternity leave, I'm taking four months off, my mom will be here for over a month, and we're keeping her in preschool, so she will still get plenty of attention.

This is mostly a vent but a little bit wondering if I can just tell them not to give it to her. I generally have a very good relationship with them. They are obviously very kind and generous people but this is too much. A three year old does not need an iPad!! [/quote]

By your own admission, your kid has too much already and you bought a doll.  Why start the precident?[/quote]
