[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a similar MIL. You have to be like a duck and let it roll off your back. Pick and choose what battles you want to fight, and then if at all possible, have your DH lay down the law. Always practice good manners - as in, be gracious when receiving gifts, then if you see fit, donate them. She probably won't even remember what she bought them. I care less and less about what MIL does as time goes on. I have less time to spend thinking about it. I now accept that fact that I simply don't have to buy my kids anything, my MIL will buy all the toys and clothes for our kids, and that I will donate several boxes of toys and clothes every season to goodwill. However, if there are things that are clearly inappropriate or disrespectful, confront her and set your boundaries, then let it go. (Unless she does it again). You can't be a doormat either. But nothing you described seems to go in that territory.[/quote]
