This probably shouldn't grate on me I know but my husband's mum spoils him so bad and she's starting with the kids now too. I can monitor how she is with the children and stop her as such but I can't do anything about how she is with her own son. I don't want my children being spoiled; it's not good for them imo. They get all they need and that's all that matters. Last year she bought OH an Ipad for christmas quite early but then she still sent him a cheque and this year she's now just bought him an Ipad 2 as an "early christmas gift" and I know she'll still send him something when christmas comes round. He's a grown man!! It's time to stop spoiling him so much now. Her generosity is lovely, it really is and she's wonderful to kids but I worry that as they get older they'll come to expect her grand gestures and I'll be the bad guy if I take them away. My husband, however, doesn't seem to give a hoot He's just like a kid himself; all excited about his new toy. She bought him a galaxy tab for his birthday too! Can somebody pleeeeeease explain to me why somebody needs three tablets?!! I use his ipad now a bit and he did say he's gonna sell it but I think that's a bit of an insult really. I'm really disappointed in him and I don't like him very much at the moment. I don't want my children to grow up thinking they are "entitled" to all this stuff like I'm beginning to think he does.
