ADADIt feels as if the years that kids are "wowed" by small, fun gifts and surprises are fleeting. For all I know, you and the other grandma did force their hands. We’re all exhausted right now, and this is not the advice anyone wants, but it’s time to get resourceful. Like the ones with faces full of stickers (wapo.st/sticker-face), you can shower your grandbabies in silliness while no material goods change hands. Time together, after all, is the thing for bonding, which these kids will need abundantly if their adults keep waging these battles for control.
