[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do I keep them? Return them? Donate them? Send a thank you? Ignore them? We've been on bad terms with my in-laws for many years because they have no idea how to respect boundaries[b] (see above).[/b] We recently moved, but I guess FIL got our address from a non-estranged family member. Which, whatever. But sending gifts to my kids when you're not even in a position to call them? That feels really invasive and rude, in the same way that a lot of FIL's behavior has been disrespectful of the boundaries Husband and I have set (clearly, in writing, repeatedly). I was raised to send a thank you card when I receive a gift, and I feel a bit obligated, but part of me wants to ignore the jerk as this seems really manipulative. Advice?[/quote] OP--What are you referring to when you write "see above?" :?: :?: :?: [/quote]
