Grandparents are cruel

[Misty Cato]

My dad comes to visit once a week and always brings a little gift for my 3 year old son. Guess what he brought this week? A harmonica! Who gives a 3 year old a harmonica?! Of course now my dad is gone and Jamin is running around happily 'playing' his new toy. Next time Jamin goes to visit his grandparents, I'm sending the harmonica with him.

LOL too funny! They are the best for that! So are aunts and uncles too!

[Shawna]

Haha! Oh yes all my kids grandparents are always buying them the most annoying toys! And they do it on purpose & even say so lol! I'd send that harmonica back to them too!

[dballance]

LOL, just wait til he buys him a drum set. That's the meanest thing my parents EVER bought my boy.

[ditzyscrap]

LMAO, lovely, isn't it?

When I was pregnant with Mason, I said to everyone "NO NOISY TOYS", and threatened that I'd throw them off the patio. So of course, we got lots of noisy toys. The WORST was when an aunt took us shopping, we went to the dollar store and she got the kids those horns for bikes (except my kids didn't have bikes yet, lol)...then showed them how to take the ball off the end and BLOW into it. I think by the time we got home, even SHE was annoyed, and they didn't last long before I snuck them out into the trash, lmao!

I am NOTORIOUS for doing things like that. My girlfriend with the 4.5 year old? Oh yea, lots of motorized trucks with beeps and sounds. I even give extra batteries with the presents :p

I have a lot of friends who don't plan on having children, so I KNOW they'll do the same to me. Karma will get me back, I'm not too worried, lol!

LOL bike horns! That's pretty bad. I'm waiting for the interest in the harmonica to subside so I can hide until the next visit to the grandparents.

My brother used to get my boys noisy toys until I one upped him with Boomwhackers (http://www.hearthsong.com/hearthsong/product.do?section_id=0&bc=1005&pgc=60&cm_mmc=Tagged-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA) for his step son. Since then the noisy toys have stopped. :)

I do get rid of noisy toys, or I remove the batteries if they are a truck or something that can be played with silently. I'm a mean mother that way. :)

[kscwgirl]

And this is why I have my kids birthdays at my parents house. LOL The noisy toys seem to have a way of staying there. LOL

[Paula]

Ha! Love that idea :)

[Paula]

LOL Bean! Now that is a GREAT idea!!

[juliemarie]

Haven't had problems with grandparents (knock on wood...) or noisy toys.

But my SIL gave my daughter a lite brite and all the 100's of pegs to my daughter when she turned 3. The next christmas her kids got the messiest craft project kits I could find...

[Sarah8914]

I feel your pain! I keep telling my mom I'm sending some toys back over there!

[trudem]

LOL my parents have long threatened to get me and my brothers back for all the noise we've ever made to annoy them...I'm thinking there will be TONS of noisy toys when I finally have kids!! :D
