    I think your kids should put their faces straight and be grateful that she is giving them such a kind and generous gift.

    Just mho.

    Try reading the actual post. At no point did they say the kids weren't grateful for it.

    Now unless you have something construtive to say, shut up and go away back to DFW and MFW boards.
  • She did actually say the kids were not grateful. She said none of them wanted it, the nine year old was not pleased and the father upset his mum over it. I think they should be grateful, whatever the gift, and not pull a face..

    However, if the parents don't agree with it, then that's what they can say to the grandma isn't it, that they don't agree with it?

    I'm very rarely on either of the boards you mention, but I'll get off this one for now.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
