[quote=Anonymous]We have made it clear-no adult gifts. I have a sibling I am not close with who is the queen of showering our kids with unwanted plastic gifts made in China that are horrible for the landfill. We have repeatedly made it clear from now on the gift is her presence and our kids don't want material things, but she refuses to listen. My daughter suggested we donate to toys for tots and local shelters so we do that. I think we need to redefine what a gift is. If someone has requested you stop it is not a gift, it is imposing and rude. I do not view people who shower my kids with gifts as generous. it's usually an inter-personally toxic relative who tends to be boundary stomping in other ways a swell. [/quote]
