114: Navigating Grandparent Over-Gifting from Both Perspectives with DeeDee Moore
Manage episode 523401867 series 3590958
In this episode, I sit down with Deedee Moore of More Than Grand to talk about something so many families quietly wrestle with: over-gifting from grandparents.
Together, we dig into why it happens, how it feels, and what we can do to bridge the gap with more empathy and clearer communication.
Both perspectives matter: The parent perspective (how too many gifts can create stress, clutter, or guilt) AND the grandparent perspective (how giving is often an expression of love, connection, and identity).
We explore the sweet intentions behind the gifts, the frustration that can happen on the receiving end, and the simple conversations that can help everyone feel heard.
This conversation is full of compassion, aha moments, and practical ideas for strengthening those precious family relationships—without letting “stuff” get in the way.
