Moms, do you let your kid open cards/gifts

[amberatkins]

We open gifts as soon as they arrive. My son gets so excited at ANY mail that making him wait for days to open a package would just be cruel. Also, I have no self control either.

Yeah, my kid would drive me fucking mental if I made him wait.

Right now, she usually waits. When she's older I might let her open them earlier.

In his mind, my 8 year old would die if he had to wait to open ANYTHING that came in the mail.

For this reason, I have my family (in MN, we live in NOLA) mail gifts to me at work so I can hide them before he gets home from school since our mail comes at home after he gets here.
