Entitlement

How do I approach the purchases with grandparents? I don’t want them to feel shunned but I do agree that coming home with a cow is too much and I definitely know that his shoes for example are out of control.

He has a zoo and museum bundle pass for the year. It’s a science museum so the activities are age appropriate learning for him. I see how the trampoline park, or exclusively fun activities should be limited to monthly or less.

For a 3yo he’s a pretty good kid. Says please and thank you, uses the potty before he’s reminded, cleans up after himself. Don’t get me wrong a switch can flip and he can fall on the floor tantrum but he gets disciplined for that as well. I think he’s currently a well rounded kid but as he becomes more aware life I know that can change if I don’t get a handle on it now.

Thank you for not passing judgment.
