7 months old she doesnt understand what is going on and the grandparents are the ones who unwrapped it. When she hits 2 or 3 years old is when it gets fun

At seven months, I very seriously doubt that SHE opened the present. She more than likely pulled the bow off and tried to eat it. I get that you feel upset because you view it as a milestone. Just be grateful you have parents that help you with your child and love your child. There are parents out there with no family support struggling to make ends meet that arenât going to be able to provide ANY presents for their baby (babies). Yes, youâre disappointed, but itâs not the end of the world. Like someone else said, âŚyou need to choose your battles (and this shouldnât be one of them).

Next year it will be more fun!
Just a thought, a lot of kids âfirstsâ happen at daycare. Most of the time, they wonât tell you, so you have the âfirstâ with your baby. My daughter was 10 months last Christmas and I literally opened everything. I thought sheâd have fun tearing the paper apart. I can get where youâd feel a type of way, but I promise by next month it wonât weigh on you. It was a special moment her grandparents got to have, probably the only âfirstâ they might get with her.
Itâs all good mama, try to relax.

Also, I get where everyone is rolling their eyes at this postâŚ
Mama, do you suffer from post partum depression or anxiety? Either could be contributing to her reaction.

If youâre a working mother youâre going to miss a lot of her firsts. Babies donât work around your schedule. Quit being mad, youâre only hurting yourself.

no big deal jbe glad they got her s gift
My daughter was around that age her first Christmas. She wasnât one bit interested in the toys. She wanted to eat the wrapping paper and got mad when she wasnât allowed and had a total end of the world fit lmao. It cracks me up thinking about it now. She definitely wouldnât have opened the present herself. I donât think any baby that age does honestly. Theyâre all teething monsters 
Itâs more that grandparents opened it for her at this stage. Youâre definitely entitled to your feelings on it and to you theyâre valid. Youâre a first time mom. Trust me. Youâre going to come to realize how small something line this is in the long run. At this age Christmas presents are for the parents 
that little one doesnât care at all at this point in its little life. Next year and the years to come is when the real
Magic happens. You have many many more Christmas presents in her future that sheâll actually understand. The grandparents probably didnât mean any harm. They were excited. Try not to think to badly of them. On Christmas morning when youâre wrestling shreds of chewed wet paper out of her mouth sheâll wonât remember the one present two weeks before. Happy holidays momma

I would just let your parents know your feelings so they can be more aware so they donât take away other firsts that you might want to be apart of. Your feelings are totally validated but nothing you can do besides communicate at this point and then move on. Iâm sorry.

Some of you are so unempathetic, which is ok, except that youâre making her out to be spoiled, or dumb for feeling this way. âfirst world problemsâ give me a break. Iâd bet anything that you go through these âfirst world problemsâ many times a day without blinking an eye. Have some compassion. There were plenty of people on here who disagreed with the poster in a respectable way and offered their povs in a way that can help her. Stop being so cruel to people just because youâre miserable wenches.
To the poster: I get it. You want to be your babyâs every first. But like some said, youâre not going to be. Your baby wonât remember this⌠Itâs so much fun when theyâre a little older. And while you have every right to be upset, because this is your kid⌠Please also understand that your are in fact lucky to have parents help you, and to them⌠That baby is their grand baby and they are excited for her firsts as well. Calmly explain to them what and why youâre feeling⌠They probably donât even realize it. Good luck.

I literally could not tell you what the first gift my son opened on his first Christmas. Let the little shit go man, donât stress it!
All of you in the comments need to fuck off. Quit being dicks. She has a right to be upset. Sheâs a first time mom! She wants to see all her babyâs firsts. Itâs her right to want that! Thereâs no need to make fun of her or belittle her. Not everyone parents the same. Not everyone thinks the same. In her case she wanted to see her baby open her first present. I donât give a shit about picking battles. You want what you want and should communicate that to your family instead of letting them do whatever they want and not putting your foot down because other people think a problem is âtoo smallâ.
Some of you are just awful people.
Omg seriously gtfoh! There is way more serious things to be upset over ! Think of others that are sitting in hospitals with dying children on christmas etc not that you didnt see the first present being opened for Godâs sake you get tired of it after 4 years and get irritated with the damn mess trust me #4kidslater
They probably didnt realize what they did upset you, maybe calmly talk to them and explain your feelings and that its okay this time but to next time ask you first or wait till you have the first memory with your baby. Some things cant be helped, like first step or whatever while you are not with your child, however this is something that can be. But like I said they probably didnt realize what they did hurt your feelings, they probably just got excited and let her have her present. I know how you feel, just talk to them and move on, dont let it get to you unless they keep doing it after you have talked to them. Also, for the ones putting her down for feeling this way, she only feels this way because its her first baby and she truelly loves her child and wants to be apart of that childs milestones. If you dont agree, there is a way to kindly put your thoughts on the situation instead of down playing, being rude, and making unnecessary comments. Why do you feel the need to put her down even more, when obviously she already feels bad?
Wow!! I saw the earlier post about the boy who is possibly being molested then thisâŚthis child wonât remember and yes I think youâre wrong. Itâs Christmas it is about family, love and faith.
I personally think itâs a small thing in the scheme or things (mom of 4 gm to 1) as you said she is 7 months. Iâd be more concerned about next Christmas and make sure they know itâs a no no!! You want to be there!!
She couldnât really open her own present at that age trust me, So you really only missed her opening her first present from nan and pop with nan and pop opening it for her, Which would make me feel better about it.
I know how you feel, My nan gave my eldest water for the first time not me, And my mum ga e her puree food for the first time, not me
Omg you seriously need to chill out. Shes 7months if youre that uptight about missing moments you should of been a stay at home mum. Just sayin.
It already happened. Let it go. They didnât mean to hurt your feelings.
Iâm POSITIVE your baby didnât even unwrap the present lol my son was 9 months last Christmas and couldnât unwrap the presents lol
I know its sad but they really donât get real into it until they are 2 at least that been my experience with my 3 kids so try not to let it upset you to much
100% sure your 7 month old âbabyâ didnât open her first present and two youâre being ridiculous. She doesnât know where her nose is let along know what her first present was. Good lord.
Sheâll never remember it. Youâll be there for the gifts she DOES remember opening in the years to come
No disrespect, but youâre being extremely petty in my opinion. I mean itâs not like the child knows any different. At least the Grandparents are present in the babyâs life. If this is the worst of your problems, consider yourself blessed.

Please grow up. Dont be so uptight over petty things. Please dont be like most new generation of parents that make a big deal over something so small. The grandparents were only trying to be nice to their grand daughter. They wasnt trying to hurt your feelings or trying to be jerks. Be thankful theyre in your daughterâs life.

Life is too short to worry about such trivial things. A 7 month old is never going to remember it anyway. Instead, count your blessings because 1) not everyone has parents and/or in-laws to watch their kids 2) be thankful they love your child enough to want to buy them gifts! Be thankful because you are blessed!!

You can choose to be upset about anything. Or you can choose to be happy that your daughter is surrounded by love.
My granddaughter got her first bath at Grandmaâs n cut her first tooth at my house. My daughter did not mind at all!
I understand why you are upset! You want to be there for all her firsts but remember that you spend her first Christmas together and that is more important than her first gift!
Iâm not one to tell anyone how to feel but I say in the grand scheme of life, this is a very small thing to get upset about. Just my opinion of course and if you are upset, thatâs your right but instead of letting it take away from the holiday, try starting some of your own firstsâŚpresents arenât that exciting for babies really anywayâŚ
With all due respect, thatâs ridiculous.
