[quote=Anonymous]Do I, as the parent, get to set the rules or not? Whether we are in our own home or at their place, their spoiling takes the driver's seat. I'm the one that has to deal with all the stuff. My husband doesn't touch it, the kids don't clean up enough, and who can blame them when there is so much stuff being given all the time. That's why I'm irritated because it's fun and games for everyone else and I'm stuck being the "shrew" who has to set healthy limits on amounts of toys, junk food, etc. My parents are not like the ILs. They understand the job of the parent and try to work with us to help raise the kids right and not against us. Spoiling is not doing anyone any favors. If you spoil a pet by feeding it every time it thinks it's hungry, it gets obese, and dies a premature death. It's ignorant to think spoiling is a good thing all the time.[/quote]
