[quote=Anonymous]I hear you. Christmas presents give me anxiety. I can somewhat influence my own parents, but it’s tough to control my MIL, particularly when my husband won’t say anything to her. I’ve given up trying to direct them to experiences. They want to get stuff, and lots of it. My only suggestion is to find a thing that the kids can collect and to ask the grandparents to buy that. So like with my mom I ask her to get Schleich plastic animals for my kids every holiday, because my kids like those. Last Christmas my MIL gave my kids a Tonie box, so I’ve asked her to get them more Tonie figurines. Doesn’t solve the extra stuff issue, but at least those items are small and a little pricey for what they are, and it bothers me less when they go with things we already have. [/quote]
