Grandparents: Do you buy things for your grandchildren only for your own home?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve never heard of anyone I know doing that. Does you MIL have other grandkids than yours? Could it be this is her way of feeling closer to them, like they are more hers? Does she think she’s a better parent than you and your husband? I ask it that way because that kind of dynamic I’m personally familiar with, just not the item restrictions.
