My MIL has given us chocolate advent calendars for our dc. Dc have seen them. And will want them because of the chocolate.
But I'd already bought advent calendars to give to them ON 1ST DECEMBER!!! Beautiful (non chocolate) ones.
I hate chocolate advent calendars - dc aged 5 can have a small chocolate every day but dc aged 1? No way. But I'd rather the excitement was about seeing which picture they had, not just cramming chocolate into their mouths.
More than anything I'm annoyed that my MIL has (yet again) done things her way without checking with me (the parent) first.
Her other DIL gave the chocolate advent calendars back to MIL and said that no, her children were not having chocolate ones. This has really hurt MIL so I can't do the same - I know she means well. But I feel like our new family traditions are not bring allowed to develop because MIL intervenes.
I know I'm overreacting. But aibu to feel a BIT annoyed about this?!
