[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hate this time of year when we are expected to get our kids gifts. They are 9 and 6. My in laws go overboard on Xmas. We celebrate Xmas and Chanukah and it’s the little ones birthday month. I cannot think of more than 5 gifts for each. My DH refuses to ask his mom to chill out on the gifts. It’s a losing battle and in 2 months I’ll end up throwing all the toys out because they take up space and have too much stuff. How do I survive without tears?[/quote] Point out to your DH that his parents are literally throwing their money away...is that what he wants them to do? Open a savings account/mutual fund for the kids and suggest that they contribute to it every year and at birthday time. You can't tell them not to buy any gifts, but this might cut down on the waste and actually help the kids out someday.[/quote]
