[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had DS's first birthday party and MIL gave themed decor gifts (wall clock, book ends and lamp) for DS nursery. His completed nursery with a totally different theme. I am so very grateful for her generosity and thoughtfulness and I get along with her pretty well but I will not be displaying these items in his nursery. He also doesn't need the items she purchased. Of course I will thank her appropriately for everything in a note, but do I: - mention to her that thanks, but it doesn't go with what we have and we'll not be using it? - put it away and not mention anything at all? I really don't want to hurt her feelings. I also don't want her to waste her money by purchasing things that we won't use. I did also mention to her about a year ago that we were striving to become minimalists and didn't really need anything, but maybe she misunderstood? [/quote] MIL's child should be dealing with this, not you. Deflect to your partner. [/quote]
