[quote=Anonymous]I totally get you OP, but I think getting your mom, or kids, to
change is going to be more conflict than it's worth. In this case, your kid already knows you are disappointed so no more needs to be said. Your mom clearly loves the role of indulgent grandmother and I think you will be fighting a losing battle. I also get your annoyance with too many toys around the house. My suggestion is to change the type of gifts you give your kids. Make yours experience gifts- like going to the batting cage or a day at Dave and Busters, etc. That way you aren't constantly having worry about her buying things you had already planned on buying.

I guess I'm a little more lenient on this because my parents have passed away and my in-laws give my kids The crappiest gifts like going through her old jewelry box and sending them her broken and crappy costume jewelry- for my sons and my daughter or giving them a shit ton of used books from a garage sale that aren't even age appropriate. But that's a whole other thread![/quote]
