[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send books. No one objects to books. [/quote] Haha I do. MIL gets the kids books and waits 2-3 years to give the books to the kids. By the time the kids receive the books, they're way beyond that reading level. Also, we have one bookshelf in the kids' room. We have no space. I've explained that when a new book comes in, an old one has to go to make room for the new one. This causes tremendous strife for my 9yo pack rat dd. I've asked MIL to consider kindle books or amazon gift cards so the kids can choose but she feels they're not real books and won't foster a love of reading the way a paperback would. So I let her do her thing, and I keep making dd cry when she has to pack up old books and put them in storage. And when we move (every few years because of dh's job) we have to carry around extra boxes of books. It's a hassle. I object. [/quote]
