[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I beg to differ from the crowd!
I do not think it is rude!
I think it is more rude for the g-parents to keep giving gifts you have thoughtfully explain you DO NOT WANT!
If we cannot be honest with family then the problem is not manners -- it goes deeper than that.
I can tell my in-laws no thank you and my family too -- it's how you do it -- and 
I commend your son for using his manners to say "NO Thank You!"
How smart and thoughtful of him to realize he has enough stuff.
Your in-laws sound a little manipulative and a bit clueless about how to show their affection sans gifts.[/quote]

Agree.... I'm more impressed by his lack of greed and sense that he has enough, than I am by any rudeness.  The Gparents are incorrigible and out of line and massively more rude because they should know better and respect boundaries/ requests.

agree that in future a better response is to lay down the law w gparents, and if they don't get it say "thanks, I will donate to this to someone less fortunate who will enjoy it!"[/quote]
