[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you just tell her politely not to bring you anything anymore because your house is too small?  Just tell her.  Why the tiptoeing around?  You can't be honest?[/quote]

OP here- I already have! It didn't work.

I could just toss the stuff, DH agrees, but I think she'd rather I give it back instead of grow it out.  I threw out some old lamp once and it has been a bone of contention for years. So I think I shoud give her some warning enforce I toss??

We don't want to spend $$ on storage, especially for stuff we don't want.  And we store things at their place because they have _offered_ and they just built a large (empty) 2 story garage for their things.

Sad thing is, they have some lovely things, that DH would love to have and I would too (china, furniture, rugs-all in storage). But she comments how we don't appreciate her things and "what will I do with all this?"  I can't very well say, "give us the nice valuable heirlooms, not the worn out tired stuff."

I'm such an ungrateful DIL![/quote]
