Do all 6 year olds constantly ask their grandparents to buy toys

[Wills]

Sorry had a row with my not so "d"m. dd1 spoke to her this morning on the phone and asked her to buy her various toys which she promptly agreed to do. She encourages dd1 to permanently ask her for things. She heard me over the phone telling dd1 off for asking her nana for toys. She told me that its totally normal for grandchildren to ask their grandparents for toys and that this was fine and I was over reacting.

Am I being stupid?

My dds dont, I guess children would ask whoever they thought might buy them though, and if shes been encouraged, then shes going to...your mum might be on the other end of the phone saying Oh there MUST be something...yep...my little pony...oh thats small...anything else....? Etc

I suppose I just not keen that dd1 goes around asking people for things. She's 6.5 now and I suppose I thought it was time she started to grow out of this and I don't like my mother encouraging her. However whilst I suspect its normal that a child would do this especially to an adult that encourages it what I'm looking for is whether I'm right to discourage my dd1 from doing it or whether I'm over reacting and its behaviour that should be encouraged. I suspect not but need a little reality check to be sure.

Does she ask other people or is it just your mum?
I saw a granny with her 15-17 year old granddaughter at legoland last weekend...the granny was paying but wasnt going to go on anything, but to get both of them in it was something like £56. The granny nearly choked on her false teeth and the grandaughter didnt care coz it wasnt coming out of her wallet....it was very unpleasant to watch. Maybe mention this to your mum, it could get VERRRRYY expensive

I think any child would be able to come up with a list of toys they would like if directly asked by a family member.

It seems a bit unfair to tell your DD not to do it if your mother is asking her direct questions about what she wants.

If you are uncomfortable with it then I think it would be best to speak with your mother and ask her to stop doing it.

Maybe Nana could give your DD a bit of pocket money each week / month instead, so she can save it up if she really wants something?
