Following on from all the "how does santa bring presents?" threads! DMIL comes up to ours on Christmas morning to see kids opening presents - fine and dandy. Only they (DPs family) have this weird thing about the youngest getting to open ALL their presents first, then next youngest etc etc. It just leads to the youngest(s) being hounded to opne presents as quick as possible. DD2 will have just opened one present, want to look at it but is told to "Open the next one!!". There's also a mad rush to get everything out of boxes, batteries in etc etc when kids would be happy to open one thing and play with it and then open others later. I HATE IT!!!! How do I stop it this year? And is it normal??
