[quote=Anonymous]I have exactly this problem too, OP. Not only for me, but for my children. We all have Amazon Wish Lists so it could not be clearer what we want and how to get it. But my mother comes back for each and every item with a series of questions -- Do you still want that? Did you see that one reviewer said that it was [not well made, not good, not well-written -- whatever] Did you see that Consumer Reports said that X was better? It's been on your Wish List for six months so I wasn't sure you really wanted it, do you really? That's going to take up a lot of room Do the kids really need that? And so on. It's EXHAUSTING. I tell her not to use the Wish List -- doesn't matter. I tell her to buy whatever she wants -- doesn't matter. I tell her she can use the Wish List, but the items are what we want, we don't care about the reviews, etc. -- doesn't matter. OP, with people who are anxious and controlling, this is life.[/quote]
