[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-  I love reading these suggestions (thank you Nanny poster!) and hearing that others find this a little bit irritating too.  I can relate to being asked to supply every single idea and feeling pressured for it to be a "good" one bc the grandparents get disappointed if the kids aren't over the moon.  One year I was also asked to wrap other people's gifts after researching and finding everything but I must have been visibly sour about it because that hasn't happened since haha.

Thanks to everyone who comisserated with my light-hearted early holiday gripe.  I will pay it forward in this board in December.[/quote]

NP. +1 million, OP! This thread resonates so much with me. I have too much on my mom plate and the needy relatives super irritate me. Most are retired and have all the darn time in the world, but their egos can’t deal if the kids don’t react to their own chosen gifts with 200% glee, so now it’s all my problem to create their magical moments.
