[quote=Anonymous]My sister and I aren't close, but we're friendly. I don't like or want confrontation, but I need to text her and tell her to stop (or maybe wait and hope this is over??)

My sister is moving out of her house. Over the last month, she gave my (11 year old) son an old wooden train track set with those wooden train cars. She left them on our front door and texted that she knew [my son] loved to play with them and wanted to "gift" them to him. He outgrew those several years ago and we got rid of our own set several years ago. My son is a hoarder and when he saw the text and the trains, brought them in and played with them. Got bored really quickly, but refuses to give them away because his aunt gave them to him as a gift.

A week later, my son has all these dog toys that are ratty and old. He said my sister gave them to him to play with our dog. Our dog doesn't play with these kinds of toys - never have.

Last week, my sister dropped off a huge bucket of legos. Again, texting him that she left him a gift at our house because she knew he loved playing with legos.

I want to text her and say,

Sis, thank you for thinking of us, but please don't drop off any more things from your house. We don't need the extra stuff.

Is that too harsh?  [/quote]
