[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We received a set of dishes from SIL for Christmas. It was a really sweet thought but I kind of…hate them?

They just aren’t my personal style and not something I’d ever buy for our home. My husband loved them and insists on using them at every meal time, I set the table yesterday with our old dishes for dinner and he was upset saying he wanted the dishes his sister got him, he got up and swapped his plate!

WWYD?

A very strange thing to give someone for Christmas. But, having said that, what could possibly be so bad that you "hate" them? They're dishes. And your DH likes them, and it's his sister's present. So you're going to have to use them. I would not make this a power struggle.

Having said that, your DH is being juvenile and I'd tell him that. Swapping his plate? Really? What a toddler. 
I'd box up the old plates and tell him to take them to Goodwill or whatever. Since he feels like he is no longer able to eat off them, then you'll get rid of them. And I'd make him feel as stupid as he looks. [/quote]
