I can not force the word no out of my mouth with the grandsons. It just doesn't want to come out. Although I do not give them candy or pop, but healthy alternatives, which we enjoy together. And yes, both grandpa and grandsons can get wound up, even with, oh, say coconut or cashew milk ice cream, like the "salted carmel" variety that we love. Or too much organic fruit juice, etc. Still better than pop and candy and it's not going to hurt them a'tall.

My own grandparents used to give me Pepsi/Coke and candy, by comparisons, but even those were probably less harmful back in the day. Today it's not even a question. They are not in the house to be had.

Grandpa does like to provide obnoxiously loud toys though. They are particularly fun to send home.

Pay back, huh, lol..

Granny did that for Christmas. Bought my son a set of drums. My ears are still ringing

My brother bought my kids a Bop it toy, I could had killed him, got on my nerves so bad.
So when his son was born, I repaid him, lol..

How funny and I suppose very satisfying.
Maybe you should have used the Bop it toy on him

Lol, I thought it would be more torture if he had to listen to it like I did.
Came across my mind though.
