[quote=Anonymous]I’m a minimalist - I don’t have or like clutter. But I understand not everyone is like this. Normally if I get something I don’t want or need, I graciously say thanks and quietly recycle or repurpose. I have a new SIL. Both she & my brother are currently unemployed and living off of assistance from my parents. She seems to be glued to the home shopping channel. Being nice about accepting these ‘useful gadgets’ is putting a strain on my parents - literally they can’t afford for her to keep gifting stupid things. I’m trying to get my parents to put them on a monthly allowance instead of an open-ended credit card, but it is a miserably slow process. Please help me wordsmith a nice way to tell her to stop spending money she doesn’t have. I sincerely like her & don’t want to offend, but I’m so annoyed, I think it will come out poorly.[/quote]
