[quote=Anonymous]We try to keep only a few toys out at a time so our 2yo is not overwhelmed- keep some stored for rainy days, etc.  We just got back  from visiting family and we almost didn't fit in the car there were so many toys. Our son still likes his current toys so I don't really want to get rid of them to make room for new- we cull the old ones regularly- but the family who gave the toys also have a tendency to come visit and ask where certain things are if they don't see them out.

I have a pile of toys that we will give away unused during toy drives next year. The toys are nice- and I know they were given with the best of intentions, but if we kept them out we would be living in a toy store. We actually had to apologize on Christmas because our son totally lost interest and was on the verge of tears because he didn't want to open anything else.

Please help- we still haven't had a chance to give our own kid any toys- we picked up about 3 total- and my family is coming for "Christmas" tomorrow. At least with my family they have heard our message that we want to see them, enjoy time and experiences together and limited toys. My DH has told his family the same, but it just doesn't seem to sink in.

Help![/quote]
