You get to enjoy all the cute moments and hand back the kid when they stink or act out! We spoiled our children and we apparently are even more intent on doing so with our grandchildren!

I saw that you don’t exchange Christmas gifts with nieces and nephews on your side. What did Christmas and birthday gifts for nieces and nephews look like when they were young?
