[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to get your husband on board and have him make the talk happen. "Mom, you really have to talk to Lisa about this stuff - she plans out what she wants the kids to get based on what we already have and what we have space for in our house. I don't want to hurt your feelings but we're going to have to return stuff. PLEASE check in with me or Lisa before buying in the future."[/quote] Don't do this. It will make you sound like a controlling bitch. Don't suck all the joy out of being a grandparent. For the trike say, "Thank you so much! DD loves the one she has that's just like this. Now she'll have one to enjoy at your house, too." For the kitchen, just suck it up and use the one she gave you. We've gotten plenty of children's gifts that I wanted to return but ended up liking in the end. [/quote]
