[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids. MIL sends to each an outfit, a book, and a toy for each holiday for which Hallmark makes a card. This includes Thanksgiving, which apparently to her is the holiday where you are thankful not only for the things you have but also for the new things you get. MIL also brings an outfit, a book, and a toy for each child each time she visits. DS, 3, has started to greet her with "what present did you bring?" I can't be bothered to correct him. [/quote]
This makes you sound a lot worse than your MIL.[/quote]

Agree. She sounds lonely and like shopping for her grandkids gives her something to do. [/quote]

Do the math on how much stuff that is. I feel for the PP here--in large part because the fact that she probably is lonely and needs something to do is at play here. [b]Way better if MIL could find something more useful to do[/b].[/quote]

Useful according to who?  Leave MIL alone.  Shopping clearly keeps her happy.  Sorry you don't deem that useful enough.[/quote]
