That seems like alot . more seat <| sep |> I will help yes msg me Snakeskin 8771 <| sep |> They bought him presents for Thanksgiving . THANKSGIVING . He opened about $ 100 worth of presents yesterday . Christmas is ridiculous especially with my mother . My wife ' s parents have a huge extended family , so they at least set a limit . My mom though will spend up to $ 1000 on my son , and it ' s not big presents . Kid has had 2025 things to open on Christmas morning just from her and Santa . I would sit down with all four grandparents without the kid there , preferably and discuss this . Set a limit , either dollar amount or present amount or both , as to how much they can give your son . State that you ' re glad they are so incredibly in his life and that they adore him that ' s wonderful ! But they are , I ' m sure without meaning to , instilling values in your son that you do not want to enforce . The kid simply doesn ' t need all of these things and will eventually expect it from his grandparents , even if they can ' t afford to bless him . If they insist on going over the set amount , they may out money in a college fund . I would also specify which holidays are appropriate for gift giving . If they want to give him gifts on Thanksgiving , for example , it can be one small one or a donation to the college fund . If they continue to protest , tell them that you guys are his parents and this is what you want . If they can not abide by your rules , they will not be allowed to spend holidays with your kid . I don ' t feel like I can say we aren ' t coming over for Christmas . Seems extreme and I ' m not sure how my 3 year old would understand it . I ' ve thought about telling my son that we ' ll all be giving X amount of our gifts away to those that are in need , but again , I don ' t know how much he ' ll understand . More importantly , it doesn ' t curtail the issue of Christmas day when everyone spends hours giving him things . I totally understand this , I really do . However , there has to be a consequence to the grandparents not following the rules you set for your kid . If you tell your son you ' re going to have a small family Christmas and maybe plan something special , like going to the park if the weather is nice or a special activity he probably won ' t care . This is more than Christmas though . We deal with this on his birthday and other holidays as per the earlier comment about Thanksgiving presents . Which his mother and I didn ' t know about . They just suddenly appeared . If this happens again , I ' d have one of you take your kid to another room while the other tells the grandparents this is inappropriate and against the rules you set assuming you ' ve had the conversation for your kid . These gifts are too much and if they can ' t abide by these rules you will take your kid home . At the dinner table , my son started screaming nya nya over and over and banging his hands on the table . Note He ' s pretty advanced verbally . He was just doing this to be silly . My wife and I started to put a halt to this and her dad said , Oh it ' s fine ! Nya nya ! And within seconds , five people at the table , four of which are over the age of 55 , were banging on the table screaming nya nya ! Nya nya a little while later turned into hoo loo loo ! with hands waving in the air . Grandparents encouraged and participated . I ' d tell your son and the adults at the table this is inappropriate . If they don ' t stop , one of you take your son to another room not as a punishment , as a distraction while the other tells the adults at the table this is unacceptable . You told your son to stop in front of them and they instead of backing you up , encouraged the behavior you were trying to end . This is not okay . They will not undermine your authority with your kid . If this continues , you will leave . My son finished his dinner early and asked to go play . He then came and started telling people to get up and play with him . Again , wife and I tried to tell him he needed to play by himself while we finished eating but then the grandparents said it was fine . He then found it hilarious to change quickly between who was being told to come play with him . Grandparents found this hilarious . Then they told him to bring his toys to the table and we finished Thanksgiving with a bunch of toys on the table . It ' s not so much the subversion of our discipline as it is the fact that they ' re willing to enjoy this kind of behavior from him that bothers me . Again , they are undermining what you ' re telling your son . They are encouraging him to not listen to you and ignore what you ' re asking him to do . This is unacceptable . It ' s like this ALL THE TIME . I ' m so glad they are loving and involved grandparents . You might think they sound fun . They can be . It just never stops . I said I hit the highlights . There ' s more . They rarely talk about anything else besides the grandkid . They talk about his poop . What he said when he woke up in the morning . What he said when he was watching a TV show . The funny face he made . Again , all of this is great . It ' s wonderful they love your kid so much but they have to respect you and your spouse as parents and they arent doing so . Sit them all down and go over the rules no excessive gift giving , they will follow the rules you set for your kid , and they will not undermine the directions you give to your son . What they want is access to your kid . If they can ' t follow these simple directions , they will have less access to your kid . I know that feels harsh , and maybe it is , but what happens when they are with your kid alone and you tell them hey don ' t feed my kid x because he has trouble digesting itis allergic whatever and they feed him whatever it is anyway . He could have an allergic reaction or get really sick . What happens when they let him stay up late and his sleep cycle gets messed up for days at a time ? They have to respect the decisions you make for your kid and if they aren ' t doing it when you ' re there , they definitely aren ' t doing it when you ' re not .
