[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate the idea that grandparents are buying so many toys that parents are doing one gift from Santa and 2 from themselves. The grandparents already had their turn to load the tree with toys. My kids get to wake up to the magic of a bunch of presents under the tree. I don't care what anyone else gets them. [/quote]

I agree. Both my mom and MIL are in the "buy as much crap as possible and don't ask what the kids want" camp. There are piles and piles of presents. Then the grandmas get annoyed that the kids aren't so thankful for the 50 $3 toys they got from the target dollar spot. [/quote]

I have a niece and nephew and their grandparents on the other side of the family send three boxes of plastic crap for Christmas every year—they don’t come visit and the kids live in a trailer, and there must be 10 presents per kid in each box and they play with each toy for literally like 10 seconds and then it is forgotten. Yet they never SEE the grandparents who brag about traveling the Caribbean all the time. They should spend the money on a visit to the kids or a college fund. It’s such a pathetic waste. [/quote]
