[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I fought about this for years. My MIL showered the kids with so many damn Christmas gifts year after year that I felt there was no point in kids having anything from Santa. My MIL is truly addicted to shopping and spending money. The in-laws would literally pull up with a truckload of toys - so much crap and year after year I would donate 90 percent of the stuff. To make matters worse, MIL would forget what she got them and would consistently repeat toys each year. DH and I we’re financially supporting in- laws and we told her every year please not to do this snd she refused - she was essentially spending our money for boatloads of crap for the kids. Kids quickly became overwhelmed and disinterested and I gave up any hope of ever getting the kids anything meaningful from Santa. Kids are grown now but I still remember the anger I felt every year.
