[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother buys my kids so much stuff that half of it ends up being regifted or just lands at Goodwill. I wish she'd stop already. I don't even understand where this behavior comes from. Her own mother never spoiled me and my siblings this way. We received one wonderful gift for Christmas or our birthdays and that was it. We didn't love her any less for it. My parents, jeez, forget it. Some of this stuff isn't even played with or worn. I swear they could keep Amazon in business themselves with all of the crap they buy.

I wish they'd take all of this money and book a cruise for themselves.  Is it a babyboomer thing? As I said, I can't recall my grandparents being this way. DH was lucky if his grandparents put a $10 bill in his birthday cards. [/quote]

Of course it's a baby boomer thing. They were bred on mass consumerism and conformity. Most of them don't understand their self worth behind what they own. They will mock you if you suggest they have a pleasant experience. That's for millennials, silly![/quote]
