[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is rude.And I am coming from a similar place as you: we are bombarded with gifts by one set of grandparents. Gifts for Valentines, just because gifts, next we'll get gifts for St Patricks and Happy Spring and then Easter. This is my MIL's love language. So even though I hate clutter and have wanted to shout "please STOP giving us stuff!" I don't. I have tried to steer grandma's enthusiasm for buying toward buying clothes for DC. It's been somewhat successful--I gush about the clothes and send her pics of the kids in them, and slowly she has been sending more clothes and fewer knick knacks. It's a win-win. She loves to shop and is amazing at finding bargains and cute outfits. I hate shopping. We have donated boxes of stuffed animals to shelters and to children in Afghanistan. And I feel no guilt about donating TJ Maxx home decor knick knacks (really, who sends this to a toddler!?) to VVA. Good luck.[/quote]
