I so agree that grandparents must be consistent. Sometimes, they can cross that boundary, and children can start acting up. We as parents must keep that consistency up, and the grandparents should do their part as well. They are a huge role in their grand-children’s lives!!!
I would donate this Pack n Play to a daycare provider that I used to work for. She has many young children, and I believe that something like that would help her.

I wish my Mom knew to steer clear of all of the “obvious” advice for my wife. It’s a bit challenging to continuously try to remind my wife that she’s “just trying to be helpful. I know her heart is in the right place, it’s just painful to constantly smile and nod…

If we were to win the Pack n’Play we’d donate it to our local church as some of the others have suggested. We see families all the time in need of the basics as they prepare for children. We see this item as a necessity and would be sure to find the right couple!

I love that my mom is always willing to teach my kids new things. And many friends admire that my mom will spend time with her grandkids taking them out to interesting places and teaching them things that I don’t really have time for.

I would donate the pack n play to my aunt who does government baby sitting and always needs extra cribs.

I wish my mom knew that cloth diapering is A LOT easier now than it was when she had kids and it’s nothing to be scared of! lol.

I would donate a Pack n’Play to my church. I’m know they could either use it in their nursery or give it to a mom in need of one!

As a Mom of four children, I often remind my Mom and Mother in law that I appreciate their advice, and help, but I don’t always like when they cross boundaries. I just enjoy having them at my disposal to help out when necessary.

I would share this pack and play with a young lady in my church that is single and 7 months pregnant with her first baby. She currently lives with her grandparents, and I know she’d be very appreciative of the gift.

I am lucky in that one set of my children’s grandparents is pretty involved (as much as they can be, being long distance)and really handles things right, respecting us as parents, and really handling their new roles gracefully. I wish my daughter was as lucky with her other grandparent, but you can’t have everything in life!

Since we are expecting our second bundle of joy in a month, we could really use a PNP (ours from our daughter was recalled) and I would give the second one to my daughters grandparents, who would love to have her stay with them, but really don’t have a suitable place for her to sleep. With a second grandbaby (and I’m sure more to come!) coming, I know they will be needing to set up a place for grandkids to come to stay with them. A PNP would be the perfect start!

I wish my husband’s parents knew how much my kids like when they visit and that they’re more than welcome to stay longer or come more often.

I’d give the PNP to my grandma, who has over 50 great grandchildren and now even two great-great grandchildren.

I would donate a Pack N Play to my teenage cousin expecting a baby in April. She and the father are planning to raise their little girl and finish school. We’re giving her our baby things we no longer need, but we won’t be ready to part with our Pack N Play for a while. I’d also not keep one for myself, so that one would go to a preemie family in our local NICU (having a grown preemie myself, I know how medical expenses can compete with other “necessities”).

I would give one to my mother-in-law because she has 6 grandchildren and no crib at her house! It would be a huge blessing for us for her to have a place to have the kids sleep at her house.
