[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a person in my life related by marriage who keeps sending me stuff in the mail. I don't want to be close with this person and I don't want her to send me stuff.

Does anyone else have this problem and how have you handled it. The person is related through my DH's family. [/quote]

Yes, but with a neighbor. I do not respond in any manner--not even an acknowledgement that the gift was received--yet they still keep coming each holiday. I do not know how to handle this beyond complete silence as no relationship is wanted.[/quote]

WOW... you are a peach.[/quote]

I will also share that this neighbor had his own dog's vocal chords cut. (Yes, this practice is legal in some states.) I do not know why, but the dog is a sweet gentle female mixed breed. He wants to give our dogs treats--a practice that we do not allow as our dogs have different dietary needs & we want to be aware of everything that they ingest.

My best guess is that this person uses gifts as a way to start a relationship that he can control. he is manipulative. Obviously, he does not respect women, is cruel even to his own dog, and does not like children.

I cannot tolerate cruelty to animals--even if legal--and do not tolerate anyone who is abusive to women & children. So, no, I don't want his gifts--ridiculous plants that he leaves at our gate and do not want any contact with him so I just discard the gifts without acknowledgement. This is a very smart man who knows how to manipulate others so no contact whatsoever is the safest approach in my view.
