How importent is cristmas persents to childern

what do you think if grandparents do not give Xmas presents to there grandson becasue they are lazy. but when asked they say we something or him we'll give it in our own time

Depends how old the grandson is I guess? Don't get me wrong i'd still be slightly miffed if the grandson was say 15, but if they were for example 5 or 6 my miffness would increase to boiling over point i'm afraid.

How do you know the reason they haven't is because they're lazy?

How old is the child?

Ultimately it's up to people how they spend their money.

what I meant is they said they have something for him but will give it when they have the time….!! But xmas is gone? Isn,t it?

[redcrx]

but have they been able to see the grandchild in that time? they may be unable to get the gift there.

[China Doll]

They've brought him a present and when they get a chance they'll give it to him, I don't see what the problem is.. I will be giving my nephew and sister their presents when I see them at the end of January!

It'll be nice for him to get a random unexpected present. There's no issue here as far as I'm concerned.

baby is only 15 months old!! i dont know if they are lazy buthey have loads of moneyand they are able and young he's the only grandchild they have... the reason they dont like baby's mum much. butthe dad yes he's there son.

Doesn't sound like they are all that interested, are they in financial difficulty?
I would be annoyed.

[redcrx]

the baby wont knowany different. did the dad not visit the gran[arents at xmas?

[B00]

oh pfft, the baby's 15 month old, he doesn't know any difference!

If you're that bothered about it, take the baby to visit them and they can give him his present then.

[rowanwitch]

don't think the child will notice...

[China Doll]

Since the baby is only 15 months old, they're not exactly in a position to get too worried that they don't get their present on christmas day! Still not really seeing much of a problem, sorry.

they live down the road!! thats an issue, they have loads of money

[China Doll]

So you take the child down the road if it's that important to you!

[woofgang]

and they have loads of money, So? its their money.

[Kassee]

Well he doesn't want their time - he wants a present !!

[postage]

yeh he wants a present they are young not old people

[Kassee]

Sorry didn't read all the posts. Dont worry about it - if their attitude continues as your little one gets older - than its their loss.

I have still got some presents under my tree !!

[woofgang]

i am guessing that postage is the mum in question and her in laws don't like her much?.....not judging just inferring from the OP's posts and her profile.

[B00]

Several of us have already asked you this, but i've nowt planned for just yet so i'll waste my time asking again ;-)

Have you taken the baby to see them over the Christmas period?

[B00]

Ahhh, totally missed that bit Woofy- ok, rephrase it, has your son taken the baby to visit them?
