[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually feel sorry for OP and everyone dumping on her.   My MIL also constantly sends house decorating items which aren't my taste. And we have a small house so I can't just pile it in a guest room. (And by constantly I mean every week).  It all ends up at Goodwill.  And she is on a fixed income so it troubles me to watch her waste her $$.  But I love her dearly, and love that she is so thoughtful.  But I totally get the need to vent.[/quote] Be an adult.  Thank her profusely for all the "wonderful" things she has given you, but [b]tell her you are though decorating and simply do not have room for anything else.[/b]  It really isn't that hard and if you do it kindly she will be fine.[/quote]

That would not have stopped my MIL. You don't know what those over givers are like. Mine used to go to thrift stores/ yard sales and them drop it all on us. It was at a time when money was tight and we had so many expenses and so little spare time. She would just spend spend spend on junk junk junk and then dump it on us. We could have used something practical but those requests fell on deaf ears. So while having a newborn, year old, and a job, I had a new job -- the dump. It WAS irritating. Not the end of the world, but irritating.[/quote]
