how do i stop my 7 year old daughter from opening her sisters gifts?

my 7 year old loves to open gifts but is always trying to do this with her little sister we would like a peaceful christmas so i do not want to have to shout
anyone who can help make crimbo day go without tears please

I had a similar situation ... I then got the older daughter to act as 'the fairy' and she was in charge of giving the presents out!! Whilst she was trying to read the card, her younger brother was able to open his without too much interference from her. When she did try, I would just tell her to find one that was for her! You do have to explain to her, before you start the whole opening up of presents, explain to her that everyone gets excited about opening their own presents, and she has to let everyone open their own!! Then tell her she can have the important job of handing out the gifts, and make sure you space hers throughout the whole thing. Perhaps have a special choc for her if she is really co-operative. I found it worked for mine, and on the odd occassion when she went a little determined, I would tell her she could open one of mine!! Good luck and I hope its a happy one!!

My sister-in-law gifts ordered online and my brother is reading your message to see what it does?.

He asked not to say and I said no, but the more I thought, does not seem right. It's like a kid at Christmas. So I said that looking emails. This is a suite of e-mail and I told him to send a private email if ordered online orders. It was wrong of me to say? I'm sure my brother will be mad.

Is this really a big problem for you and them? laugh a little!
