[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and I suppose I am being defensive, but I cannot believe you would put up with such rudeness. I told her as soon as she came down that she could open 2 presents (not including Santa's present and her stocking) that she'd need to eat some breakfast. She wasn't even opening presents when I gathered them around the table, she was working on playing with one of her presents.

I would have been smacked if I had ever said anything that rude to my parents. DH grew up in a more traditional American household and didn't feel like I did anything wrong, I was the one feeling guilty for sending her to her room. He just said let's be a little more forgiving today in general.[/quote]

Op, for all the smacking over rudeness you got as a child, you missed a lesson on being kind to children on Christmas morning.  Per your op, you were the one who needed to eat, and you were the one who didn't want to miss the present opening.  You made the morning about you and your needs, when most of us would have let the child enjoy their presents.  I don't think we're going to get through to you, but I wish you would rethink how you handled this.
